external library installation

in Contributed Library Questions • 1 year ago

So i've installed an external library before: Ani and im trying to install another one but for some reason processing is not recognizing the new one that i am trying to install. Ive placed it in the processing/modes/java/libraries folder and restarted the processing program and no dice. Please help me fix this...i want to use this library for a project for school...

Processing looks for libraries in the "sketches/libraries" folder. The folder "processing/modes/java/libraries" is reserved for the core libraries that Processing ships with. So if I want to install the "example.zip" library, I'd unzip example.zip into "sketches/libraries". This should create a folder "sketches/libraries/example", after which Processing should see it.
