Linux people. According to: https://puredata.info/%E2%80%A6/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help%E2%80%A6 https://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files
The Global folder for installing externals is: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals
Now, I got ubuntu studio 16.04.1, I had Pd installed with it and I also compiled a new version myself... BUT... I can't find this so called folder. Is this really the global folder? Do I have to create it myself always?
cheers

it's the global folder for locally installed externals (as opposed to system-installed externals).

yes

yes.
fix your makefile to install into that folder on linux (and *please*
make it overridable). the Makefile.pdlibbuilder already does that for your.
so you only have to run make install with the proper permissions.
(and before you ask: yes, it is a *feature* that you are required to
show supercow powers if you want to throws things into the faces of all
users on the system)

it's silly, cause that link mentions you only have to create for Mac OS, that makes you believe you don't need to do it for the others. But I see you also need to create it for windows...
Anyway, I'm working on updating that link, as I mentioned before... the windows part is also outdated
thanks!

"that" includes creating the folder if it doesn't exist yet.

thanks for bringing this to up. i've removed the offending line and updated the "User-specific" part of the linux section.
but of course the page needs even more love.

I edited it, but I screwed up the html and all :(
