| How to fix Pure Data not launching (crashing on startup) where this is not working: | |
| https://puredata.info/docs/faq/help-pd-crashes-on-startup-on-mac-osx-10-7 | |
| 0) Open the Terminal.app (can be found in Applications/Utilities) | |
| 1) type | |
| sudo pico /etc/hosts | |
| into the terminal | |
| (*pico* is a 17th century text editor implemented in 20th century Unix operating systems) | |
| (*hosts* is a file with the localhost info - but it can get corrupted with some rubbish from some rubbish websites) | |
| (you won't see the password update in the Terminal when you type it in - that's because it's also a 20th century technology) | |
| 2) edit the hosts file so it looks like this (the text inbetween and not including the "---") | |
| --- | |
| ## | |
| # Host Database | |
| # | |
| # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface | |
| # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. | |
| ## | |
| 127.0.0.1 localhost | |
| 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost | |
| --- | |
| 3) hit "ctrl + X" to eXit pico, and then "Y" to save | |
| 4) launch Pure Data and boom! all working |
