Purpose: A starting page for users who know they want/need Tcl, but do not know where to start.

  1. Locate and install a binary distribution. You can find a list at the Binary Distributions page and also here: places to find Tcl binaries and sources.
  2. If no binaries available, locate, configure, build, and install from a source distribution places to find Tcl binaries and sources.
  3. Read wiki pages to learn tcl/tk - see Tcl Tutor [insert other wiki references]
  4. Starter Tcl discusses some common software that you will probably find helpful in writing or using Tcl.

Easiest: get a Tclkit (one single file, about 1 MB) e.g. from http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/ . Put it anywhere on your machine. Run it ;-)
