Linux

CsoundQt binaries are in most of the package managers.

These binaries might be built without RtMidi and/or without PythonQt support. If you need to work with it, you should build CsoundQt. Instructions can be found at https://github.com/CsoundQt/CsoundQt/wiki and in the BUILDING.md file in the sources.
