*These instruction are for the stable release. The ghetto release only includes the binary executable so the installation procedure will be different. Also note you must have libjack installed.*

1. Download and extract the stable release.
2. Make the lgpt.deb-exe file in DEB/bin/ folder executable. This can be done in most desktop environments by right clicking the file, going to properties, and then permissions. Alternatively, you can do this from the command line by using ”chmod +x lgpt.deb-exe” inside the DEB/bin/ folder.
3. Place all projects, your config.xml and mapping.xml (if you have them) in the DEB/ directory. All samples go in the DEB/samplelib/ directory unless otherwise specified in your config.xml.
4. run the lgpt.deb-exe in the DEB/bin/ folder.

*The “lgpt.deb-exe” file inside DEB/bin/ is the file that MUST be executed for LGPT to locate your config files, projects, and samplelib properly. Any hard or symbolic links to this file will not work correctly. The following steps are not necessary, but may make your linux piggin' life easier.*

If you want to place an executable file somewhere besides DEB/bin/, (for example, inside the DEB folder) you can do so with the following script:

 #!/bin/bash
 
 cd [path to DEB/bin/]
 ./lgpt.deb-exe

where [path to DEB/bin/] is the absolute location (starting from your root directory) of DEB/bin. Example: ”cd /home/pigger/DEB/bin“
Save this file as lgpt.sh in your DEB/bin/ directory and make it executable.

Also, if you want to be able to run lgpt from any xterm window by simply typing “lgpt”, you may do the following:

 sudo ln -s [path to lgpt.sh] /usr/bin/lgpt

Again, where [path to lgpt.sh] is the absolute path.

Please remember:

• if you change the name or location of the DEB/ directory, please also change it in your lgpt.sh file.
• if you change the name or location of lgpt.sh, please also change the symbolic link in your /usr/bin/ directory. You may use the same command as above, just with the new [path to lgpt.sh].
