To install/build libpd:

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/libpd/libpd.git
cd libpd
make UTIL=true EXTRA=true
sudo make install

## usage

See [test.js](./test.js) for example usage.

```js
const pd = require('libpd')

// open test.pd patch, from current dir
pd.open('test.pd', __dirname)
  .then(() => {
    console.log('ok.')
    // send a message to the patch
    pd.send('loadbang')
    
    // do nothing while audio-loop is running. Ctrl-C will break
    while (true) {
    // noop
    }
  })
```
