Update PD to latest version

[falkg]

Hi Forum,

I use Patchbox OS with Pisound and PD. I want to use the latest “else” externals. They require a more recent version of pd (0.51-3). I checked the Pisound config for updating pd, it gives me the latest version is 0.5.0-2. Can I update via terminal or am I running into problems with Patchbox?

thanks Falk

Hey, you may safely upgrade the PD version, it won’t break anything for Patchbox OS

Btw, if the version you’re after is not available on apt-get, you may try downloading the debs from Debian buster-backports repository:

Install up to date PureData?

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

It can get a bit messy, you have to try things out a bit and install the debs in correct order. If you get it working, please keep some notes, so others may follow the steps too.

Hi Giedrius,

Thanks for your reply, I might give it a try and see where I end up, not sure if I manage without apt-get

cheers Falk
