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

In Ubuntu scafc is provided by pd-scaf package.

pd-scaf is:

PDP is an extension library for Pd that allows you to manipulate movies and live video data in realtime. PDP stands for Pd Packet, the data container that is used for images in PDP.

This is a PDP extension lib that contains modules for cellular automata built on a (very) minimal forth-like virtual system (scaf - simple cellular automaton forth) to define update rules. A compiler is included to produce ‘scafo’ object code that can be dynamically loaded into the [pdp_ca] module. So it is possible to add/change rules without restarting Pd.

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

sudo apt-get -y install pd-scaf

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

You can also use apt command to install pd-scaf.

sudo apt -y install pd-scaf

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

sudo aptitude install pd-scaf
