Running Squeak Smalltalk in the CS Lab


on UNIX

  1. Create a directory, e.g., mysmalltalk, somewhere in your account.
    $ mkdir mysmalltalk
    
  2. Execute the following series of commands:
    $ cd mysmalltalk
    $ cp /usr/local/lib/squeak/Squeak3.4-5170.image squeak.image
    $ cp /usr/local/lib/squeak/Squeak3.4-5170.changes squeak.changes
    $ cp /usr/local/lib/squeak/SqueakV3.sources .
    

  3. To start Squeak, type the following
    $ squeak&
    
  4. You may only re-start Squeak from the directory created in step 1 above (but, there is no need to re-copy the files in step 2).
    $ cd mysmalltalk
    $ squeak&
    

on Windows

  1. Create a directory, e.g., mysmalltalk, somewhere in your account.
  2. Copy the following files from S:\squeak to the directory you created in step 1.
  3. To start Squeak, double-click the Squeak.exe icon.
  4. You may only re-start Squeak from the directory created in step 1 above (but, there is no need to re-copy the files in step 2).

Note

Since your home directory is shared across the UNIX and Windows systems, you can share the image and changes files copied in step 2 for running Squeak on either OS.
