How To Fix cyclist: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu cyclist is provided by cyclist package.

cyclist is:

cyclist is a command line utility for converting the .mxb binary format for Max/MSP patches into the .mxt/.pat text format. It is part of the Cyclone library for Pure Data, which aims to bring some level of compatibility between the Max/MSP and Pd environments. Although being itself in the early stage of development, it is meant to eventually become part of a much larger project, aiming at unification and standardization of computer musician’s tools.

In its current form, cyclone is mainly for people using both Max and Pd, and thus wanting to develop cross-platform patches. In this respect, cyclone has much in common with Thomas Grill’s flext, and flext-based externals. While flext enables developing new cross-platform classes, cyclone makes existing classes cross-platform.

Cyclone also comes handy, somewhat, in the task of importing Max/MSP patches into Pd. Do not expect miracles, though, it is usually not an easy task.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install cyclist

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install cyclist.

sudo apt -y install cyclist

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install cyclist
