PraxisLIVE overview

PraxisLIVE - a hybrid visual live programming environment for creatives, programmers, students and tinkerers.

PraxisLIVE mixes intuitive real-time visual node editing, with a range of built-in components for audio, visual & data processing, together with an embedded compiler and editor for live-coding Java, Processing and GLSL.

PraxisLIVE is built around PraxisCORE, a modular JVM runtime for cyberphysical programming, supporting real-time coding of real-time systems. With a distributed forest-of-actors architecture, runtime code changes and comprehensive introspection, PraxisCORE brings aspects of Erlang, Smalltalk and Extempore into the Java world ... a powerful platform for media processing, data visualisation, sensors, robotics, IoT, and lots more!

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

What’s new in version 5.5.0

Updated on Feb 06 2023

PraxisLIVE v5.5.0 adds some key features in our evolution towards v6. These include sharing base code across components, function controls bound to methods, and an async API for calls and tasks.
The IDE is updated to be based on Apache NetBeans 16, with support for JDK 19. OpenJDK 17 LTS from Adoptium is still included in all OS specific bundles. Use the zip download to run with other JDKs or architectures.
Windows, macOS and Linux packages are now all built using NBPackage. The Windows and macOS installers are signed by Codelerity. We are no longer providing AppImages for Linux, but providing both DEB and RPM packages.
