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.

Hi

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
