I know, but this is a teaching situation with very short time and non-technical students. I would like to be able to drop a version of PD with everything already included and setup so that we can straight away start patching

I think a good way to distribute a project that should really work out of the box is to include all needed externals and abstractions within your patch folder (probably in subfolders to give it some structure) and then [declare] the relative paths inside your patch. Ideally you would even include Pd itself (the version you need) and make a script which loads your main patch with that local version of Pd.

Since pd is open source you could always modify the defaults and make your own build but it shouldn't have to come to that. 100% portable.. I assume you're only targeting one os? Which one?
For Mac I think you should be able to put your externals in extra (inside Pd.app http://Pd.app) and.. Can you use declare with stdpath to reference those?
A three step process would probably be more educational though.. Install pd, copy all these externals to a given place, write this into pdrc..

hi I would like to have a version of PD with a set of externals and to be able to pass that app to some students not needing to set the preferences to load the externals in every machine (neither copy the preferences file). I want it to be 100% portable. I was reading this old post about something similar https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-10/065691.html Is it possible to achieve this nowadays? thanks enrike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list_______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
