Sonic PI 3.2.2 under Ubuntu 18.04.04 possible!

Hi there,

Just to let you know you can install the latest 3.2.2 version on ubuntu 18.04.04.
It works for me but i precise that it is said on linux it depends on your configuration but
the following steps work for me on an “already jack system”

Edit : a tip : on ubuntu 18.04.04 these following packages have different name : libffi is libffi-dev and so on for libjack-jack2-dev.

i use the excellent Open Stage Control software from Jean-Emmanuel.

This little piece of code allows me to test midi and open sound control are working.

live_loop :midi_from_external_devis do
  use_real_time
  n, v = sync "/midi:apc_key_25_midi_1:4:2/note_on"
  synth :piano, note: n
  
end

live_loop :send_midi do
  use_midi_defaults channel: 1, port: "midi_through_port-0"
  midi_note_on 60
  sleep 1
end

live_loop :test_osc_to do
  msg = ["Hey !", "good morning"]
  use_osc "127.0.0.1", 7777
  osc "/text_1", msg.tick
  sleep 2
end

big up for all the people who has made this possible on github.
Cheers
