I semm to have successfully installed the haskell part of the script but it fails with a reproducible error when coming to the (partly already installed) supercollider part:

I’ll now attempt to complete with the manual install and will let you know how it develops.

it worked out just fine with minor hickups!

it seems that i only needed to do the manual install of

  • superdirt in supercollider and
  • the atom extension.

Also, i had to manually remove the __MACOSX folder in my SuperCollider extensions since it was interfering with my manual sc3-extensions install.

on a minor note, there is a paragraph

Install VS Code Extension

on the MacOS manual install page that seems to be a leftover of previous attempts. I ignored it and did not run into trouble (for now :slight_smile: )

Thanks @lfsaw, I made an issue with the supercollider people about this problematic folder https://github.com/supercollider/sc3-plugins/issues/279

this seems to be fixed now (see https://github.com/supercollider/sc3-plugins/issues/279)
on a separate note, you might want to either check in the script if there are already sc3-plugins installed (this might be challenging), or alternatively may want to provide command-line args to the script such as --no-sc (to exclude install of the supercollider part of tidal) in case the user is an experienced user of sc3 already and wants to take care of that part by herself ... :slight_smile:
