Download and installation instructions for Unix/Linux
We distribute Scheme 48 as a source release suitable for compilation under various flavors of Unix, including Linux, and Windows.
Here are some simplified download and installation instructions for Unix/Linux
systems. For more detailed installation instructions, see the files
README
and INSTALL
in the distribution.
- Click on the following link
Download
to download. Put the resulting file inscheme48-1.9.3.tgz
/tmp/scheme48-1.9.3.tgz
or some other location of your choice. - Log in as root and, at a shell, do
cd /usr/local/src
(You do not have to do this as root, but you may have to build the system in a different directory if you don't.) - Now issue the following incantation to unpack all of the files:
gunzip -c </tmp/scheme48-1.9.3.tgz | tar xf -
- Next, do
cd scheme48-1.9.3 ./configure make make install
to configure, build, and install the system. - Then simply use the command
scheme48
to run the system. Consult the manual at this point for information on use.
