## Pd-extended 0.43.4-extended

Pd is a real-time, graphical programming language for media processing. It provides an environment for audio analysis, synthesis, and processing, with a rich set of multimedia capabilities. You can get Pd for Linux, Windows, MacOS X, BSD, or IRIX.

For more information, go to: http://puredata.info

### Installation

To install Pd, drag the .app into your /Applications folder or to the shortcut in the disk image. (You might need to put the old one in the trash before copying this one to /Applications)

If you want to start with the default preferences, go to the Preferences and click on Reset to Defaults. You can also throw away the Pd preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pdextended.plist (`~` means your home folder), or run this command in the Terminal.app:

`rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pdextended.plist`

You can get detailed editing access to the preferences with the Apple utilities: `defaults read org.puredata.pdextended`, or, Property List Editor, which is freely available as part of XCode or the Server Tools.

If you want to use PDP on Mac OS X 10.4/Tiger or 10.3/Panther, you will need to install X11 (X11 comes installed with 10.5/Leopard). It comes on the install CD/DVD that your computer came with. For more detail, see How to install X11 in OS X or How do I install Pd on MacOS X?.

### Installing Externals, Objects, and Help files

### Flext Binaries have been removed from Pd-extended

As of release 0.41.4 of Pd-extended, the whole package is built from source every night. That means that some objects have been removed from the package because they were not being built from source (objects like [pool], [msd], [flashserver], etc.). You can download these objects from the original authors or get the files from the 0.40.3 Pd-extended release.
