First of all you must get a copy of the sources of this program. Go to the download section if you do not have them yet.

Dependencies

Then, to try the software you will need these third party libraries and programs:

In Debian and Ubuntu you can install all those dependencies with the following command. Anyways, I suggest installing liblo from the original sources because the version in the repositories is outdated and contains a bug:

apt-get install automake libtool libogre-dev libois-dev libcegui-mk2-dev libasound2-dev libjack-dev liblo0-dev libsndfile-dev libxml2-dev libsoundtouch1-dev libvorbis-dev

Installing

If you downloaded the program from Bazaar you will first need to generate the compilation scripts:

autoreconf

Now you will need to run the configuration script to detect the the libraries and set up the compilation settings.

./configure

Check that everything has been detected correctly and then compile the program:

make

At last we must run these commands with superuser privileges to install:

make install
ldconfig

We can now run the 3D simulator:

psynth3d
