Problem booting Tidalcycles from atom

lexxi · 1 September 2021 19:17

Hello, I am new to tidalcycles, I'm trying to get set up but when I boot tidalcycles on atom I keep getting the error "'sclang' could not be spawned. Is it installed and on your path? If so please open an issue on the package spawning the process"

any help on this would be very appreciated.

Are you on mac os x and enabled superdirt autostart inside plugin? That could be the problem, because the sclang command on mac os x is not installed on $PATH by default

How do I place sclang on $PATH?

Hello dear friends, I installed the glorious tidal cycles on a desktop pc and everything was working fine until etso appeared on Atom. Does anyone know what can be done? I couldn't fix it.

Thanks!

Uhm...and what if you try to eval a simple pattern? Because I don't see errors here, only "warnings".
The strangest thing is the "ghci" flood at the end

hellow @ndr_brt I have a lot of warnings when I evaluate a line. I send them below.

Woa, that's a lot of stuff... Don't really know what's going on...
What if you open a terminal (or powershell) and execute
ghci
then into the ghci shell execute

import Sound.Tidal.Context
tidal_version
