Very basic question about libraries
So I read and tried to get started the examples for sound : https://processing.org/tutorials/sound/
The problem is if I paste the code of, let say, example 5 in a new Processing file, well I have an error saying the package "processing.sound" does not exist. Well, a bit surprising but if I read the description : "No library found for processing.sound Libraries must be installed in a folder named 'libraries' inside the 'sketchbook' folder." I should be able to do it. The problem : I have no "sketchbook" folder, so I don't see exactly what I should do, so maybe someone can help me to figure out how to do that.
Thanx in advance

In this case:
Menu > Sketch > Import Library > Sound-- once you do it once, you don't have to do it again on a given system.For other libraries that aren't in the quick menu list,
Menu > Sketch > Import Library > Add Library.It is worth browsing around that list just to see all the interesting options in there. Many are also briefly described on the Processing Contributions page.
The sketchbook folder is where Processing saves your sketches, it will be a folder called something like Processing inside your Documents folder. The actual folder names depend on Processing version and OS.
Libraries come in 2 flavours, those like sound which are included in the Processing download and contributed libraries which can be installed via the Contributions Manager. The last comment showed how to do these 2 options. Manual installation should only be used if you have no choice.
