Setup

We use two programming languages, SuperCollider and Python3.

Setup for python

Python3 is used within a virtual environment, to keep it contained. We use jupyter-notebooks for interactive execution of the code.

Steps for the setup are:

• On Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) install the python3-dev files, liblo-dev (needed for pyliblo below) and virtualenv

sudo apt-get install python3-dev virtualenv liblo-dev

• make a virtualenv - just making it (I've called mine env)

virtualenv -p python3 <dirname>

• to enter the virtual environment

source <dirname>/bin/activate

• packages (each of the packages can be installed with pip install <packagename> while in the virtual environment)

    numpy
    scipy
    matplotlib
    jupyter
    Cython
    pyliblo
    dill
    numba

• Start the jupyter notebook (browserbased interactive editor)

jupyter-notebook

• to deactivate the virtual environment and leave it

deactivate

pyosc

PyOSC is in this repository in an attempt to port it to Python3. This port is not quite complete yet, and we resorted to using pyliblo instead.
