Is there any way to get processing-core 4.5.0b2 for Android even though the contibution manager for processing 4 is currently broken?

> Hello - I work in the IT Dept at a University. One of our faculty members plans to use Processing in the coming semester. I’m working to install it in a few computer labs for our students. They would also like to use the p5 mode. Unfortunately, after installing the app, I do not see any modes available in the “Add Mode” section (Libraries, Tools, and Examples all have options for me to install). I tried installing on both my Mac and Windows computers and don’t see any modes to install in eithe…

I think the latest version is 4.1.1. A lot of the source code is on github: [https://github.com/processing/processing4/](https://github.com/processing/processing4/)

Hello @mbbl33.

This is [a known issue](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/613) that was introduced in the latest version of Processing. The workaround is to restart Processing and access the contribution manager through `Tools -> ManageTools -> Modes`.

This bug should hopefully be fixed in the next release.
