Before installing Monomodular, make sure you have the most current versions of MaxMSP and Ableton Live installed on your computer. You will also need a license to use MaxforLive (although it is possible to use everything here in Demo Mode).
You may have navigated here from the installer itself, and you're wondering what its all about.
To install all the Monomodular software, just follow the instructions printed in the console window of the Installer patch.
There are four fields that need to be correct in order for the installation to proceed. They display the file paths to the locations that the files will be copied on your system. If they are correct, the field will be white. If the path couldn't automatically be found, it will say so in red, and you can locate it manually by either clicking on the text or dropping the file/folder onto the box on the left of the text. The default paths for the files:
Installation Package (all platforms):
This is the data that the installer will copy to your computer. If you downloaded the bundle, it should have been autodetected if you launched the installer from inside that bundles folder. If not, you can either drag the folder from its location to the box on the left side of the text indicating the path, or you can click on the path and choose it from a file browser.
If you are installing from SVN (recommended), you must press the "Subversion" button on the right side of the interface, and you will be given a choice of a temp folder where the installer will download the package from its subversion repository. You can delete this folder manually after the installation is complete, or leave it in place until the next time you update Monomodular with the installer (however, its path is not stored....it will need to be reselected the next time you run the installer).
These are the default locations that the installer is looking for. Under most circumstances, this is where things will be:
MacOS
Live.app = ~/Applications/Live 8.x.x/Live.app
MaxMSP Folder = ~/Applications/Max 5
Live Library = ~/Library/Preferences/Live 8.x.x/Library
Windows (pre win7)
Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x
MaxMSP Folder = \Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.x
Live Library =\Documents and Settings\USER\Documents\Ableton
Windows 7
Live Folder = \Program Files\Ableton\Live 8.x.x
MaxMSP Folder = \Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.x
Live Library = \users\username\documents\ableton\Library
Once the installer has verified that the installation paths that you've chosen to be valid places to put its files, you can press the
