It's fine being new to stuff. If you try clicking the link, there's installation instructions there:
To download and build rainbow and open a REPL:
git clone git://github.com/conanite/rainbow.git
cd rainbow
ant
ant # yes, twice. The second time uses rainbow to generate optimisations of itself
cd src/arc
java -server -jar rainbow.jar
[issue] "I've reformatted my Windows and tried your installations instructions above. When I first followed this instructions it worked out just fin [maybe because of the prior mzscheme installations I've made my own]. This time around I'm following your instructions without first installing my first instruction method, and here's the error:
The error has to do with looking up the variable "Rtl". The "R" probably comes from a bug in Racket's reader where certain things pasted into a Windows terminal window are parsed incorrectly. Where you typed "(tl)", somehow it saw "Rtl)".
In my experience, the bug doesn't occur as long as the text I'm pasting has a newline at the end. Maybe you could try that. That is, instead of just selecting the text you want to copy, select a blank line after it too.
Alternatively, you could type everything by hand instead of pasting... but that sounds pretty painful. Hopefully you don't have to resort to that.
EDIT: I tried to reproduce that pasting issue with Racket 6.4 on Windows 10, and I don't get it anymore. You're using Racket 6.4 too, so are you using a particular version of Windows?
I would want to follow my mzscheme instructions to install arc, but I'll let it pass for now because i want us to solved this Issue.. If I do that your instructions might work but not knowing what's exactly going on without mzscheme, (i think so) :)
Hello, I have launched a study group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcofili/ that aims to program Arc language in Arch Linux but not in computers but inside of single board computers [SBC], i.e. ODroid - C2
for any newbie here like me who never had the experience of linux but Windows... my adventure so far is summarized here. All contents are taken from the forum and all over the places i've been around the web.
A complete and downloadable tutorials on Arc language available at facebook.com/groups/epspost/
> contains installation files and tutorials with a step-by-step instructions for setup and installation for Windows users.
Complete downloading 4 Part Files and then use 7zip to extract and combine them in one single folder called "Arc Learning Compilation from EPSpost"
> these Arc adventures includes arc3.1 / racket // mzscheme
:) i just gor back here. now trying your steps above Sir. Thank you. As far as i'm concerned i'm also sharing my resources to everyone, Arc deserves a major attention now.
