Is it possible to get the latest Pure Data version ( (0.51-4) in to Patchbox OS? The Patchbox OS pre-installed version is Pd 0.50.2
That’s possible by downloading the PD Debian debs for buster:
First remove PD:
sudo apt remove puredata
sudo apt autoremove
Then install dependencies, download the debs and install them:
sudo apt install tcl tk
mkdir -p /tmp/pd
cd /tmp/pd
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puredata/puredata-core_0.51.4-1~bpo10+1_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo apt install pisound-ctl-scripts-puredata

Thank you, but I recieved some errors. I will do a restart but here is what Terminal said:
Edit: after reboot I still have Pd 0.50.2, still working.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
puredata : Depends: puredata-core (>= 0.51.4-1~bpo10+1) but 0.50.2-3 is to be installed
Depends: puredata-gui (>= 0.51.4-1~bpo10+1) but 0.50.2-3 is to be installed
puredata-extra : Depends: puredata-core (>= 0.51.4-1~bpo10+1) but 0.50.2-3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
patch@patchbox:/tmp/pd $Looks like the previous PD was not fully removed. Try doing the following:
sudo apt remove puredata puredata-core puredata-dev puredata-doc puredata-extra puredata-gui puredata-utils
and try the dpkg line again.
Sorry, but I am quite a noob when it comes to Linux.
I got this then:
