hi I am using MacCsound with MacBook / OS X Leopard. These days I do most of Orch. programming with Emacs. So that eventually i only need Csound in Terminal. How can I only use that? i have installed every packages now, but I am going to format my HD and clean OS install. so in this time, i could copy files from installed components. thanks !!! :) |

Using the OS X Terminal
If you installed the Csound OS X package at sourceforge, then Csound is located at
/usr/local/bin/. By default, the OS X terminal does not have this directory listed in your path. This means you either have to add it to your path, or specify the directory every time you run Csound. I recommend the former:export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"You can also add this line to the file
~/.profileso that the directory is automatically added to your path every time you launch the terminal app. As for running a CSD file, this is what I use.csound -d -odac myfile.csdBest,
Jake
