Tcl/Tk is open source (based on a BSD-style license), so you can use it and modify it virtually any way you want, including for commercial uses. Here is the Tcl source distribution license, but be sure to check the license for any particular distribution you use. Other Software: We also catalog a small set of other related software. The "Batteries Included" ActiveTcl DistributionBy far the easiest way to get Tcl/Tk installed is via ActiveState's free ActiveTcl distribution, which includes precompiled versions of not only the core Tcl and Tk, but dozens of the most popular extensions, to provide you with a rich set of Tcl development tools with a single software installation. Versions are available for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows. Visit ActiveState's ActiveTcl page The Tcl/Tk Source Code DistributionsYou can easily compile your own versions of Tcl and Tk from these source code distributions. Tcl/Tk 8.6 is the current stable version. Visit the Main Tcl/Tk 8.6 Info Page or the Sources Download Page Living on the edge? To see what's coming up, you may want to track ongoing development of Tcl and Tk and several packages over at core.tcl.tk. You may also be interested in the previous stable version, Tcl/Tk 8.5. Already have Tcl/Tk?Tcl and Tk come preinstalled on most Unix systems, as well as on Mac OS X, so it may well be worth a quick look. However, if it is there, you'll want to check if you've got a recent version. To check, start Tcl/Tk (usually via running "tclsh" or "wish" from a command line), and typing "info patchlevel". This will tell you what version you're running. |
