[edit] Installing REBOL

REBOL/Core does not come with an installer. It's a simple executable file which starts the Console when you execute it. When it's started, you can start writing and running REBOL scripts.

[edit] Windows

REBOL/View for Windows comes with an installer which allows you to optionally install REBOL/View. If you choose to install REBOL/View, it adds registry entries that allows you to run REBOL scripts directly by doubleclicking them in Explorer or a different file manager.

If you choose not to install REBOL/View, you can only run scripts through the Viewtop or the console.

[edit] Linux

Write something about library dependencies here.

REBOL for Linux has some library dependencies, which can be determined by doing an "ldd rebol" in the console. REBOL for Linux has no installer like on Windows.

ldd on REBOL produces the following:

Linux x86 - REBOL/Core 2.6.2.4.2

  • libm.so.6
  • libc.so.6
  • /lib/ld-linux.so.2

[edit] MacOSX

REBOL for MacOSX requires MacOSX Jaguar to run.
