Re: [chuck-users] Complete and utter Newbie

Ah, OK that makes sense. In that case its in my applications because I just put it there. Thank you! James On 19 Mar 2010, at 16:52, Ryan Wieghard wrote:

The bin/directory is simply the folder on your computer named chuck-x.x.x.x.x-exe and it is located wherever it is on your filesystem (likely to be in Downloads if you are a Mac user).

The words bin/directory and folder are usually synonymous.

Hope that helps.

I just came across ChucK after dabbling with SC, Common Music and Max/MSP. I basically know nothing about programming but ChucK looks very interesting and I'd like to know more. I've download the executable file (Mac OS 10.6.2) and I've dropped the folder "chuck-1.2.1.3-exe' into applications. I've followed the instructions and opened the terminal and now I'm stuck.....

The instructions say go to bin/directory (replace chuck-x.x.x.x.-exe with the directory name). What and where is bin/directory?

You'll have to forgive my complete stupidity, I'm an 'acoustic composer' trying to dabble with electronic based music and so far i cant even install ChucK.

Messing around with my terminal seems scary, am I likely to blow my computer up??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks James _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
