How to install

If you want to install any package manually, copy the folder inside the "Packages" folder in your Max folder (delete the old one, if any!)
The Max packages folder is under "Documents/Max 8/Packages" (for Max 8.x), or "Documents/Max 7/Packages" (for Max 7.0.x) or "Documents/Max/Packages" (for Max 6.1.x). To uninstall, simply delete the package folder.

Important: if you are running MacOS Catalina or higher, however, you must use the Package Manager, otherwise you will have to manually remove the quarantine for the downloaded libraries. One way of doing so is going into the terminal and typing

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Documents/Max\ 8/Packages/bach/*

or substitute the folder where the package is in, if it's a different one. The same command works for cage/dada... provided that you put their names instead of "bach" at the end.
