hello tania
i don't know, what is the proper way of installing externals on os x (if
there is one). but i try anyway
there are basically two things to consider:
a) you need to tell pd, where it should look for externals
b) you need to tell pd, which externals should be loaded on startup.
in newer versions of pd, both can be done trough the menu (i don't
recall the exact menu tree for pd on osx):
pd-<version> -> Preferences -> Path:
here you can add the path to your external
pd-<version> -> Preferences -> Startup:
here you can add the name of your external. on osx, the external would
be a file called 'external.pd_darwin', but in the startup fields you
only write 'external' withouth the file extension .pd_darwin.
after entering, click 'save all settings' and 'apply'.
then you should be able to instantiate objects from the new external.
