Issues on Startup

Hey all, I have been enamored with strudel over the last week. I have been using the web editor on strudel.cc, but don’t enjoy having to load the site every time I go to code some beats. I’m much more into coding from my command line, or vscode. I believe it would also be better for my general workflow since I’m so used to navigating a terminal. That said I have tried several methods to get tidal cycles working on my machine. Initially I started with following the documentation, downloading the repo, and using pnpm i, pnpm dev, in the project folder. I get a response from my terminal stating that the server is on and listening. I can navigate to the IP, and of course this opens a web page, and then runs there. I would like to instead be coding entirely inside my terminal, or even just an app that I can open instead of relying on the web. Is there anything anyone can point me to in order to help my install woes? I tried opening in pulsar, and even got to the point where the tidalcycles plugin pops up, and I see the t> in the terminal, but don’t get any audio returned! I have been going in circles and hope someone can help me.

If this helps:

Arch Linux, Hyprland Desktop environment, tried in VSCode, and Pulsar. I’ve also tried getting the SuperCollider IDE, starting SuperDirt that way, and then again I just get no sound returned despite no errors, or really any feedback in the terminal. Whatever is failing is doing so silently.

I will note – I am able to get it running seemlessly on my macbook, but my desktop has just given me an enormous amount of trouble. This is largely ironic since usually its often the other way around for me (I’m linux native, and usually don’t run into these types of problems). If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them as I’m still just struggling away. I have gotten tidal cycles to open in pulsar terminal (noted by the t>) in the terminal, but it still doesn’t play any sound despite no errors being thrown :frowning:

(the meaning of this term probably changes a bit over some decades, but ...)

then use tidal's emacs mode?

that's what I do. and start sclang in a separate terminal.
