h2. 0 Preface

i was installing it on Debian GNU/Linux
with a already rt-patches including kernel.
althought my system is already configured
for audio applications, there should be no big issues
to get this setup running on any fresh installed box.

h2. 1 Installing serial-pyio

the serial modules should already be included
in all standard distribution kernels.

serial-pyio was, at least for me, the out of the box solution.
many thanks to rooker, you can read the history of
monome vs. linux on

http://forum.monome.org/topic/740

or simply get the latest package from

http://serial-pyio.sf.net

h1. 1.1 fast runthought installation


su -
cd /usr/local/src
mkdir monome
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/serial-pyio/serial-pyio-0.1.1.tar.bz2
tar xjvf serial-pyio-0.1.1.tar.bz2
ln -s /usr/local/src/monome/serial-pyio/run.sh /usr/local/bin/monome

# connect monome
#   and watch the log which device handle it creates
tail -f /var/log/messages

# the same device must be mentioned in start script
grep tty /usr/local/bin/monome

# now fire it up
monome

you could also use a modified version of the script whicht autodetects the device

http://modular-t.org/monome

ATTENTION: u need to put this in the same path as the original run.sh as the paths inside are relative.
so if u've followed the instructions above


/usr/local/src/monome/serial-pyio/

would be the place to put it

h2. 2 using it with puredata

as many options pd offers,
that complicated it looks in the beginning.
take it easy, u'll never now or need all features inside,
just imagine it as a toolbox containing all the little
audio screwdrivers u'll need.

one source of information u'll find here:
http://puredata.org/downloads

choose the extended version in case u dont now what to take.
it already includes many additional and usefull objects.


su -
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pure-data/Pd-0.38.4-extended-linux-i386.tar.bz2
tar xjvf Pd-0.38.4-extended-linux-i386.tar.bz2
cd Pd-0.38*
make install

that should it be.

type

pd

thats it.

u migth have a look on pd howto

i've modified the help patch included in this tutorial

to fit to the standard names in serial-pyio

http://modular-t.org/help-40h.pd

h2. 3 futures

i'm currently writing on a little stepseq and live sampler

for a 40h.

its going into betatest the next week
on its first concerts in vienna.

as soon i have a cleanuped 0.1 version
i'll put it in resources on monome.org.
