As I write this I am uploading the final version of the Windows installers. 
That should be done in a few minutes. The Windows portion of the release is 
then complete. It looks to me like the entire release is complete -- the 
release status has been set to "active" and the files are publicly visible.

I appreciate your work testing the releases, by the way.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Of course, I and the community have you (and the other developers) to 
thank for creating such easy to use installers so that "the medium 
doesn't influence the message" and we are able to make music right away 
with Csound, despite all of the program's potential complications.

Anyway, I probably should've made another thread (or replied to the 
correct one lol) for this but I had a look at the tutorial.pdf on the 
SourceForge Project Download page and I thought it was an excellent 
primer for someone just getting into Csound. I also noticed a stub for 
the Mac OS X platform as well as Linux.

Now Linux can be a veritable hornet's nest when it comes to the 
infinite number of possible configurations so I should let a user more 
experienced than I try to tackle that. Fortunately though, Mac OS X 
isn't quite as variable and thus I've made some images similar to the 
ones you present in the tutorial for the Windows platform. (Portable 
Network Graphics format in a Win32 compatible .zip archive.)

http://www.csounds.com/akbari/tut_pngs.zip

I haven't had time to sit down and formally write these ideas nicely as 
you have, however the text that follows is a modified and annotated 
version of Victor Lazzarini's "readme.rtf" that comes with the OS X 
packages on SourceForge. Indicated in the text are the various images 
found in the above .zip archive. Hopefully this will lead to a more 
complete Csound tutorial.

Practically speaking, most users on OS X are probably going to be using 
MacCsound since all you basically have to do is run the app, type your 
Csound code, and press play. I have added a little bit to Victor's 
original text to reflect this, in addition to providing images. The 
note about environment variables on OS X is also pretty crucial as 
well, for those who would venture beyond MacCsound.

******************************************************

To install Csound 5 in your machine, just double-click
on Csound5.mpkg (001.png) and follow the instructions. This is
all you need to do. If however, you want only to install
a component, see below.

If you wish to install only the CsoundLib framework, use
CsoundLib.pkg (002-007.png); If you want to install the applications
(CsoundLib is required for them to work), you can use
CsoundApps.pkg (008.png & 009.png). The SupportLibs.pkg install support
libraries for Csound 5 (FLTK, Libsndfile, Liblo, portaudio v.19,
fluidsynth, libjack).

For MacCsound with Csound5 support (010.png), all you need to do is 
install the CsoundLib.pkg and drag the MacCsound application onto your 
hard disk somewhere. MacCsound uses the Framework installed by 
CsoundLib.pkg.

Important Note: Environment Variables

The Csound 5 framework sets the plugin opcode directory
automatically, so you do not have to do anything about it.
It is located inside the CsoundLib.Framework folder, under
Resources/Opcodes (Opcodes64 for doubles version).

However, at least one important environment variable
should be set by the user, for ease-of-use of Csound Applications.
This is SFDIR, the soundfile directory, where csound will
write and read the soundfiles it produces or uses.

To do that, you will have to create a file (if it does not exist),
in your home directory. Here's what you need to do:

1. Start 'Terminal' (in 'Applications/Utilities')
2. Create the '.MacOSX' directory. Type in:
      mkdir .MacOSX
3. Create a text file called environment.plist with TextEdit (or any 
other text editor) in your
     home directory
4. Into it, write the text shown below, changing
    [your_soundfile_directory] for the full path to your soundfile 
directory





      SFDIR
      [your_soundfile_directory]



An example of SFDIR full pathnames:

/users/victor/audio

(a folder called 'audio'  in the user victor home directory)

5. Move the file to the .MacOSX directory. In the Terminal window,
     type:
     mv environment.plist .MacOSX

6. If you want to add other environment variables, just follow the 
formula
     used for SFDIR, adding it to the environment.plist file. For a full 
list of
     useful environment variables for Csound, see the Csound Manual.

Hi,

Yes, you can find it at:

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/CommandEnvironment.html

But they shouldn't be necessary unless you are building from source.

Cheers,
Andres
