How do I install Tcl on my system?

Installation

Tcl must be installed on the host operating system for CDRouter to install and run. In some cases additional software repositories may need to be enabled before installing Tcl. Please refer to the operating system's documentation for more information on enabling additional repositories, if required.

Required Tcl Version

CDRouter 6.5 and earlier:

  • 32-bit operating system: Tcl 8.4, 8.5
  • 64-bit operating system: Tcl 8.5

CDRouter 7.0 and newer:

  • 32-bit operating system: Tcl 8.5
  • 64-bit operating system: Tcl 8.5

Support for Tcl 8.4 has been deprecated as of CDRouter 7.0. To install Tcl on your system, please execute the following commands (as root) based on your operating system.

Installing Tcl on Fedora/RedHat Operating Systems

# yum install tcl8.5

Installing Tcl on Ubuntu/Debian Operating Systems

# apt-get install tcl8.5

Note: In some cases Tcl 8.4 may need to be removed before Tcl 8.5 can be installed or used. This can be accomplished using the yum remove and apt-get remove commands in Fedora/RedHat and Ubuntu/Debian, respectively.
