Ubuntu 22.04 / Blender 3.3..1 - could not activate - rtmidi not installed - solved

[ThomZenTury]

Hi there! Thanks for the useful plugin.

When I installed the .zip through Blender's GUI I couldn't activate the addon because of missing "rtmidi" although it's installed on the system.

Workaround: You need to find where Blender's own python interpreter is located and install rtmidi through this one.

1. Open Blender.

2. Go to the Scripting tab.

3. In the Python console within Blender, run the following command to find the path to the Python executable:

import sys
print(sys.executable)

This will print the path to Blender's Python executable, which will look something like

/path/to/blender/3.3/python/bin/python3.10

4. Open a Terminal, cd into this directory and install rtmidi through Blender's python3.10 interpreter

# open Terminal
# change directory
cd /path/to/blender/3.3/python/bin/
# install rtmidi
./python3.10 -m pip install python-rtmidi

5. Restart Blender
6. Solved my case
