Spat 5.0.8 Installation from the Archive

Spat
#1

Hi!
I tried to download Spat 5.0.8 from the Archive.
(Sadly the newest version of Spat is not compatible with my actual hardware anymore.)
The message I get is this one:
09
I couldn’t figure out how to add to cart from the Archive… so do you have an idea how to get the download files?
Thanks!

Hi Eva,
Can you try again now. The 5.0.8 download should work.
Best,
T.

Hi,

I’d definitely recommend using spat5, not 4.

Here is the installation instruction:

macOS :

  • mount the Spat 5 disk image
  • copy the content to your Max Packages folder (typically ~/Documents/Max 7/Packages)
  • launch Max in 64 bit mode

Windows:

  • install the “Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2017”; you can (freely) download it from Microsoft website: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/.
    Select “Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable” and “x64” and follow the instructions for installation.
  • unzip the spat 5 archive, and copy the content to your Max Packages folder
  • copy the following DLL files from the Spat package:
    /dependencies/zlib1.dll
    /dependencies/hdf5_hl.dll
    /dependencies/hdf5.dll
    /dependencies/libcurl.dll
    /dependencies/netcdf.dll
    alongside the Max 64 bit executable i.e.: C:\Programmes\Cycling ’74\Max 7\
  • launch Max 64 bit

(in the previous instructions, replace “Max 7” with “Max 8” if needed)
