How To Get The CriTcl Sources

```

```

## NAME

critcl\_howto\_sources - How To Get The CriTcl Sources

## DESCRIPTION

Be welcome to the *C Runtime In Tcl* (short: *CriTcl*), a system for embedding and using C code from within *Tcl* \[http://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl\] scripts.

The sources for *CriTcl* are retrieved in two easy steps:

- \[1\]

  **Install the Git Source Code Manager**

- \[2\]

  **Retrieve The Sources**

It is now possible to follow the instructions on *How To Install CriTcl*.

## INSTALL THE GIT SOURCE CODE MANAGER

*CriTcl*'s sources are managed by the popular *Git SCM* \[http://www.git-scm.com\].

Binaries of clients for popular platforms can be found at the *download page* \[https://git-scm.com/downloads\].

See also if your operating system's package manager provides clients and associated tools for installation. If so, follow the instructions for the installation of such packages on your system.

## RETRIEVE THE SOURCES

- \[1\]

  Choose a directory for the sources, and make it the working directory.

- \[2\]

  Invoke the command

  ```
  git clone http://andreas-kupries.github.io/critcl
  ```

- \[3\]

  The working directory now contains a sub-directory "*critcl*" holding the sources of *CriTcl*.
