Most Pd externals are already installed on A/Demudi. To activate
external libraries like zexy for your user account, you either start
Pd with "pd -lib zexy" or create a textfile in your home directory
called ".pdrc".
For example, the terminal command:
$ evim ~/.pdrc
will make you edit the file in the "Easy Vim" editor. Just write:
-path /usr/lib/pd/externs
-lib zexy:Gem
into it. You also can see or edit the current path from inside Pd
using the "Path" menu entry. All this should be described in the HTML
docs.
For installing new packages or updating them, you have to be logged in
as root. You can do this using "aptitude" without starting a new X-Window
session in a terminal by:
$ su -
<input root password>
$ aptitude
