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.

Betreff: Re: [PD] standalone with preferences included on OSX?
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) 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
