Installing on Linux๐Ÿ”—

Depending on the distribution of Linux, SuperCollider can be a little tricky to install and may require being built from source.

Luckily, much of the installation (including both Python and SuperCollider) has been automated through a simple shell script written by Noisk8.

You can download the script from their GitHub which contains some information on what the script is doing and how to run it.

Installing on Raspberry Pi๐Ÿ”—

As is the case with most Linux distributions, installing SuperCollider can be tricky on a Raspberry Pi

GitHub user redFrik has put together a simplified installation package with detailed instructions on running the software on a Raspberry Pi. Python and FoxDot can be installed through the normal processes.

Installing with SuperCollider 3.7 or earlier๐Ÿ”—

It's not possible to download/install the FoxDot Quark for SuperCollider v3.7 and below.

However, the contents of the Quark file can be executed manually to enable FoxDot to successfully connect with SuperCollider. The file, FoxDot.scd, can be downloaded.

Once downloaded, open the file in SuperCollider and press Ctrl+Return to run it. This will make SuperCollider start listening for messages from FoxDot and needs to be run before opening FoxDot with Python.
