Installing Tcl Dev Kit

Tcl Dev Kit binaries for Windows, OS X, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and AIX are available from the ActiveState web site.

Some Demos and Examples in Tcl Dev Kit require ActiveTcl. ActiveTcl also provides the standard basekits used for TclApp wrapping. ActiveTcl should be installed before Tcl Dev Kit for best results.

The Windows distribution includes documentation in Windows .CHM (compiled help) format. Alternatively, an HTML documentation package is available from the ActiveState web site. All other platform distributions include HTML documentation.

Uninstalling Tcl Dev Kit

Windows

To uninstall Tcl Dev Kit, from the Start menu, select Programs | ActiveState Tcl Dev Kit | Uninstall Tcl Dev Kit.

Mac OS X

To uninstall Tcl Dev Kit, use the bundled uninstall script:

    sudo /Library/Receipts/TclDevKit-<version>.pkg/Contents/Resources/uninstall

Linux / Solaris / HP-UX / AIX

To uninstall Tcl Dev Kit, run the "uninstall" executable (in /path/lib/ppm/log/tcldevkit by default).

For example:

% /path/lib/ppm/log/tcldevkit/uninstall

The uninstaller requires X11. If you installed Tcl Dev Kit into it's own directory, then a rm -rf of that directory will also remove all installed components.

Note: If you are uninstalling both Tcl Dev Kit and ActiveTcl, and you had both installed into the same directory, uninstall Tcl Dev Kit before uninstalling ActiveTcl.
