[PD] noob question for Raspian NOOBS

[AP Vague]

3 years experience with Pd, 3 hours experience with Raspberry Pi... Easily
installed NOOBS on a micro SDHC card, everything boots up correctly
including the desktop gui, internet access, etc. The downloads of Pd from
various links on puredata.info don't seem to be installing correctly as per
the instructions in the INSTALL.txt files. My question is: is the issue
with NOOBS, or does it make a difference versus an alternative Raspian
image? Terminal is returning errors such as "package does not exist," etc.
