ActiveTcl binaries for Windows, Linux and Solaris are available from the ActiveState web site.
Note that Tar on Solaris 2.6 has a bug that prevents proper extraction of files in packages with long path names. GNU tar may therefore be required to extract the package into the filesystem correctly. A precompiled version of GNU tar for the sparc platform is available from: http://www.sunfreeware.com/.
Double-click the installer file to extract the contents and run the installation.
The download is a tar-gzipped archive. To extract, enter the following command at the shell prompt:
gtar zxf /path/to/ActiveTcl-download.tar.gz
In the directory where you extracted the archive, run the
install.sh
installer script, which will automatically
select between the GUI or text-based installer depending on your
system configuration. After installation, make sure that the
directory containing the installed executables
(ActiveTcl/bin
) is included in your PATH variable.
The download is a compressed tar archive. To extract, enter the following command at the shell prompt:
compress -cd /path/to/ActiveTcl-download.tar.Z | tar xf
-
In the directory where you extracted the archive, run the
install.sh
installer script, which will automatically
select between the GUI or text-based installer depending on your
system configuration. After installation, make sure that the
directory containing the installed executables is included in your
PATH variable.

To uninstall ActiveTcl, from the Start menu, select Programs|ActiveState ActiveTcl|Uninstall ActiveTcl.
To uninstall ActiveTcl, run the "uninstall.tcl" script that is located in the directory where you extracted the ActiveTcl archive. Note that you must use the "wish" in the distribution you wish to uninstall. For example:
% /path/Tcl/bin/wish
/path/Tcl/lib/ppm/log/ActiveTcl/uninstall_ActiveTcl.tcl
stored, by default, in the directory
/lib/ppm/log/ActiveTcl
(full ActiveTcl installation)
or /lib/ppm/log/ActiveTcl-uk
(ActiveTcl Upgrade Kit
installation). You must use the wish interpreter from the
distribution you wish to uninstall. Ensure that you do not run the
uninstall script from a directory that will be removed during the
uninstallation.
For example:
% /path/Tcl/bin/wish
/path/Tcl/lib/ppm/log/ActiveTcl/uninstall_ActiveTcl.tcl
Note: if you are uninstalling both ActiveTcl and TclPro, uninstall TclPro before uninstalling ActiveTcl.
