If you’re seeing this:
No library found for wordcram
As of release 1.0, libraries must be installed in a folder named ‘libraries’ inside the ‘sketchbook’ folder.
…you’ve come to the right place!
WordCram installs like any normal Processing library — just download,
unzip, and copy it into the “libraries” folder.
- Make sure you have Processing installed and working on your computer
- version 1.0 or greater should be fine.
- Download and unzip WordCram.
- Open your Processing sketchbook folder, where all your sketches are
saved. If you don’t know where your Processing sketchbook folder is,
open Processing, and in File > Preferences, look for “Sketchbook
folder”. - In your Processing sketchbook folder, there should be a folder named
libraries. Copy the WordCram folder into it. - Restart Processing.
WordCram is installed!
Run a Sample WordCram!
In Processing, open File > Examples…, look under Contributed Libraries > WordCram, and run the ‘helloWorld’ example.
Hi – newbie at this so sorry if I am being a bit dim. I have installed Processing 1.5.1 but cannot find the sketchbook folder or the libraries folder.
With Processing running when I click on the File Menu I can see New, Open, Sketchbook & Examples . . . but not Preferences as you suggest in your instructions.
Under the Processing Menu there is About Processing (nothing happens when I click on this) and Preferences.
When I click on Prefrences I am told my Sketchbook location is: /Users/[myusername]/Documents/Processing .
I have put WordCram in this folder but I still get the “No library found for wordcram
As of release 1.0, libraries must be installed in a folder named ‘libraries’ inside the ‘sketchbook’ folder. ” when I try to run WordCram.
So I am a bit stuck. I am running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Can you help?
Try adding WordCram into /Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries, and restart Processing.
You should have these paths:
/Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries/WordCram
/Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries/WordCram/examples
/Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries/WordCram/library
/Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries/WordCram/reference
/Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing/libraries/WordCram/src
If you have all those paths, and you’re still having problems, let me know.
Hi, Thanks for the reply.
In my /Users/[yourusername]/Documents/Processing folder I do not have a libraries folder. So I made one (using create new folder), renamed it libraries and put WordCram in it.
I restarted Processing and when I go to File > Sketchbook – libraries is not available as an option.
However – if I rename it Libraries (with a capital ‘L’ rather than a lower case one) it is available and I can navigate through to the Hello World example – and that works as well.
Oh! I’m sorry, I think I see where the confusion is coming from. Processing used to put library examples in the menu under File > Sketchbook > libraries, but recently, they moved it to File > Examples…, then Contributed Libraries.
Rename the folder back to “libraries,” lower-case L, and restart Processing. Then open File > Examples…, look under Contributed Libraries > WordCram, and run the ‘helloWorld’ example. If you leave it named “Libraries,” I’m not sure Processing will find it. Let me know if this helps.
I updated the description above. Sorry for the confusion, but thanks for letting me know!
