Installation help!

[autumn]

Hello there!

I'm trying really hard to install Radium on my laptop, and I haven't been able to progress. The windows version works okay in wine, but I want to run the native linux version.

When I try to run the install script, I get a message about missing dependencies “tcl/tk”. That's not really correct, as I'm told my OS has these dependencies preinstalled.

Here's the Garuda Forum page
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/radium- ... cies/36880

The support I'm getting is folk are saying "try bitwig or ardour instead" UGH i *hate* bitwig so much!

Anyway thank you for your time

Radium is looking for “wish”, the tcl/tk commannd line application, needed by the pd insyrument. it doesnt seem to be in the path. maybe its enough installing pd?

also, if you don’t use the pd instrument, you can probably just comment out this check from the startup script.

Oh, I see now. You have only installed tcl. You also need to install tk.

Also, some guy on that forum seems to have think the Radium AUR package is broken. This is unlikely since it’s up-to-date plus that the maintainer of the package also regularly contributes code for radium. Seems like a low-quality forum IMO.

After installing pd, Radium launches!
Thank you!
