# CreativePython
CreativePython is a Python-based software environment for developing algorithmic art projects. It mirrors the [JythonMusic API](https://jythonmusic.me/api-reference/).
This package is still under development.
---
## Quick Install
The CreativePython Install Scripts [(Download)](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/7cwxayca38ajcc533bpgs/AGP4pnP-xhb-5LH_7YPsgyk?rlkey=2led17m6h0ku9y3hzbsnvsio1&dl=1) install CreativePython and all its required software, including Python3, FluidSynth, PortAudio, ffmpeg, Homebrew (on Mac), and Windows Build Kit (on Windows).
### Windows
1. Open `win-scripts.tgz`. Right-click `windows_setup.bat`, and **Run as Administrator** (it will open PowerShell and run).
2. Follow any prompts and let it finish.
- If you do not have Windows Build Kit installed, it will be installed as part of this process. This may take some time to complete.
### macOS
1. Open `mac-scripts.tgz`. Control-click `mac_setup.command`, and **Open** (it will open Terminal and run).
2. Follow any prompts and let it finish.
- If you do not have Command Line Tools for XCode installed, it will be installed as part of this process. This may take some time to complete.
---
## Custom Install
---
### 1. Install Python 3 + pip
#### Windows
1. Download the [Python 3 installer](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. Run the installer. **Check the box that says “Add Python to PATH”** before clicking *Install Now*.
3. Open Command Prompt (search for "cmd" in the Start menu).
4. Verify your installation.
```$ python --version```
You should see something like "Python 3.12.4"
#### MacOS
1. Open Terminal (press Command + Space, type "Terminal", and hit Enter).
2. Install **Homebrew** if you don't have it.
```$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"```
3. Install Python 3.
```$ brew install python```
4. Verify your installation.
```$ python3 --version```
You should see something like "Python 3.12.4"
---
### 2. Install System Libraries
#### Windows
- **PortAudio**:
On Windows, PortAudio is installed automatically with CreativePython, however you need Microsoft Build Tools installed first.
1. Download [the latest Windows build](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/).
2. Run the installer. When prompted, select **C++ build tools**.
3. Click **Install**. This may take several minutes.
- **FluidSynth**:
1. Download [the latest Windows build](https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases).
2. Unzip it, and add the folder's location to your PATH.
- **ffmpeg**:
1. Download [the latest Windows build](ffmpeg.org/download.html).
2. Unzip it, and move the folder to `C:\ffmpeg`.
3. Add `C:\ffmpeg\bin` to your PATH.
#### Mac
- **All Libraries**:
1. Open Terminal.
2. Install PortAudio, FluidSynth, and ffmpeg.
```$ brew install portaudio fluidsynth ffmpeg```
---
### 3. Install CreativePython
#### Any OS
1. Open Command Prompt/Terminal.
```$ pip install CreativePython```
```$ cp-setup```
2. When prompted, download the default soundfont. (It's FluidR3 GM2-2, by the way)
- If you choose not to download the soundfont, you will need to provide your own.
3. Verify your installation.
```$ cp-test```
You should hear a single MIDI note played at C4. If so, you're all set!
