New Python Processing project: Py5

Processing.py
7

I’m on Mint (Ubuntu-based). Maybe try a different version of Java –

I created a new directory:

mkdir <directory name>
cd <directory name>

And within that a virtual environment for py5:

apt-get install python3.9-dev python3.9-venv 
python3.9 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install py5

python --version

Python 3.9.5

Then I downloaded and setup an alternative version of JDK:

wget https://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk11/ri/openjdk-11+28_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
tar -xzvf openjdk-11+28_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
export JAVA_HOME=$PWD/jdk-11/

jdk-11/bin/java --version

openjdk 11 2018-09-25
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11+28)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11+28, mixed mode)

Made a quick sketch (the Quick Example), saved it in my new directory, and tested it (python quick_example.py)

Runs fine for me.
