You'll need Pure Data for the sound-production. Some objects rely on external libraries of Pure Data. Please see the documentation for details.
install puredata with the following extension libraries (example for a debian based linux)
apt-get install pd-unauthorized pd-motex pd-zexy pd-cyclone pd-ext13 pd-list-abs pd-pan pd-crebpuredata creates the sounds, run it with
pd pd/roqba.pdor without a GUI:
pd -noadc -nodac -nogui -stderr pd/roqba.pdopen a python shell (I recommend IPython) in this folder.
