Installation

PymaxMusic contains both a Python package and a Max package, both of which need to be installed. Pymax uses CNMAT’s osc4py3 library, which you need to install before using.

To install the Python package:

Install osc4py3:

py -m pip install osc4py3

python3 -m pip install osc4py3

Install pymaxmusic:

py -m pip install pymaxmusic

python3 -m pip install pymaxmusic

To install the Max package:

Download the pymaxmusic_maxpackage folder and place it in your Max packages folder (probably Documents/Max (version number)/Packages). Since each pymax project includes both a Python module and a Max patch, the maxhelp files for each Max object in pymaxmusic also have corresponding Python modules. These are included in the maxpackage folder.

You can also download both the Python and the Max packages from its source.
