I am trying to wirk through the (really detailed, thanks!) tutorial at [Building a 2D Corpus Explorer (Part 1) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dsX5uRips8&list=PLLzzOXU4pTgJNv3XL_DRQO4N9xXc0pJEu) and it mentions `fluid.waveform~`. unfortunately, it doesn’t show up when I tyoe it and I get a

```auto
newobj: fluid.waveform~: No such object

```

error in the console, although I see it in the `jsui` directory.  
I just downloaded the binary release over at [github](https://github.com/flucoma/flucoma-max/releases/tag/1.0.0-TB2.beta5) (1.0.0-TB2 beta5).

Any help would be highly appreciated; I am sure I am doing something stupidly wrong (not a savvy max user after all…)

edit: I am, however, able to open the help file and in there the `JSUI` is displayed (and works as expected).

Are you on Max 7 by any chance? If so, I’m afraid you’ll need to write  
`jsui @filename fluid.waveform~`  
instead

Hmm, weird.

- `FluidCorpusManipulation` folder is in Max 8/Packages ?
- Have you tried restarting Max?

ha thanks; I moved it to `Library` not to `Packages`. Moving it to `Packages` solves the difficulties. 🙂
