Installing sonic-pi on Ubuntu 18.04 seems to conflict

[urswilke]

Hi!

Thank you for the easy installation on Ubuntu!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this here. Just in case it can be of help for anyone...

First the installation of the plugins didn't work. (perhaps because I tried to install sonic-pi some months ago... (?))

I've then seen that there were multiple folders related to supercollider on my system in:

• /usr/local/share/
• /usr/local/lib/
• /usr/local/include/

I went brute force and removed these via sudo rm -r SuperCollider in these folders (attention, I don't take any responsibility if someone does this on his machine. Not sure if it is the correct way to do it..)

Afterwards I reinstalled everything via

sh build-supercollider.sh and
sh build-sc3-plugins.sh

and it worked like a charm.

Then, I reinstalled sonic-pi via

sudo apt purge sonic-pi
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get install sonic-pi

and then supercollider didn't work anymore (sonic-pi neither).

So I purged sonic-pi again, removed the system folders as described above and ran the scripts again to get back to a working supercollider ❤️
