How To Set Up Your Own PuréeData Server

PuréeData is intended for collaboration and open improvement—I'd be delighted if you wanted to start your own server. Here's what you'll need:

• A server that can run:
  • PureData or Pd-Extended (see here for instructions on installing Pd-Extended on Ubuntu)
  • Icecast or similar audio stream server
  • Python 2.*

1. Clone the repo into a directory of your choice.

2. To start the server, go to server/ and run: ./startPureeData.sh

   PuréeData uses web.py as its HTTP server, so it will run completely independently of any other HTTP server, such as Apache.

3. Open a web browser to your server. That's it!

I had tried setting up the server script through WSGI and Apache, but there are problems with the way Pd is instantiated which I haven't figured out yet—let me know if you have any ideas ;)
