Does the miniAudicle work for you? Because that's the most straightforward way to use ChucK. Certainly if you're mainly interested in programming for the Monome, the miniAudicle is the best environment. The installation of the command-line version is generally only necessary for special cases. If you're really intent on using the command line version, I suspect that it's navigating to the chuck folder in the terminal that's tripping you up. Where is your chuck-1.2.1.3-exe folder? If it's on your desktop, then you'll need to type: cd ~/Desktop/chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin (likewise, if it's in your Downloads folder, replace Desktop above with Downloads) then: sudo cp chuck /usr/local/bin (Just to echo Hans' comment, you don't need that line about 'sudo chmod 755...')

sorry about that, didnt mean to be rude. i downloaded the executable, opened it, and looked at the files in the finder. the main folder is called chuck-1.2.1.3-exe. so i typed this command in the terminal:

%>cd chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin

but i got an error that says no such job. any ideas what i might have done wrong? thanks.

Get to the folder first:

cd chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin/

then

sudo cp chuck /usr/bin/

and

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/chuck

You will get asked for your password for the last two - that is ok, you are installing it into your system. Than you can go to the folder with examples and try it out:

chuck name_of_the_example.ck

It seems that on Mac OS X 10.6.8, this can be replaced by sudo cp chuck /usr/local/bin/ as this directory is included in echo $PATH

...

and

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/chuck

And this unnecessary, as one is copying it (and it it is correctly set when unpacking with 'tar -xzf').

i went into terminal and did exactly what you said. when i entered "%>chuck" in the terminal it didnt give me the "[chuck]: no input files... (try –help)" message on the terminal screen like it says it should in the chuck manual. does this mean it didnt install correctly? i included a pic of the terminal windo as well. i dont know how to tell if its installed or not. thanks so much for your help.
