Arc is finally here
I am very excited I have been waiting a long time for Arc to make an appearance.
From the top Installation (Official Guide)
Step 1
Download MzScheme - http://download.plt-scheme.org/mzscheme/v352.html
Step 2
Download Arc - http://ycombinator.com/arc/arc1.tar
Step 3
Install MzScheme$chmod 777 mz-352-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu.sh $ ./mz-352-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu.sh
smorin@smorin-desktop-dell-linux:~/Desktop$ ./mz-352-bin-i386-linux-ubuntu.sh This program will extract and install MzScheme v352. Note: the required diskspace for this installation is about 20M. Do you want a Unix-style distribution? In this distribution mode files go into different directories according to Unix conventions. A "plt-uninstall" script will be generated to make it possible to remove the installation. If say 'no', the whole PLT directory is kept as a single (movable and erasbale) unit, possibly with external links into it. *** Caution: this is an experimental feature. Enter yes/no (default: no) > no Where do you want to install the "mz" directory tree? 1 - /usr/mz [default] 2 - /usr/local/mz 3 - $HOME/mz (/home/smorin/mz) 4 - ./mz (here) Or enter a different directory to install in. > 3 Checking the integrity of the binary archive... ok. Unpacking into "/home/smorin/mz"... done. Do you want to install new system links within the bin, lib, include, man, and doc subdirectories of "/home/smorin", possibly overriding existing links? n All done.
Step 4
Install Arc$tar xvf arc0.tar
Step 4
Start Arc using the command:
If your not in the arc dir it won't work.
$cd ~/ $cd arc0 smorin@smorin-desktop-dell-linux:~/arc0$ ~/mz/bin/mzscheme -m -f as.scm Use (quit) to quit, (tl) to return here after an interrupt. arc>If you ^C an Arc program, you'll get the Scheme REPL. Use (tl) to get back to the Arc REPL. Scheme Documentation
