[chuck-users] Trying to get start with Chuck on MAC - USING TERMINAL

[Andrew Turley]

Gary,

Congratulations on taking the dive into ChucK. From what I can tell,
it looks like you're close to having things up and running. The
problem is that you are trying to run ChucK without any input file.
The command line version of ChucK needs you to specify the actual file
that you want to execute. You can either create this file, or use one
of the files that came with the ChucK installation. For example, if
you had a file called sounds.ck, then you would run it by going to the
directory that contained the file and typing the following at the
command prompt:

chuck sounds.ck

For more information about using the Unix command line, you might want
to take a look at this article:

I'm not sure which video you saw, but you might have been watching Ge
use Audicle. Audicle provides a graphical interface to chuck. You can
download it here:

Good luck, and let me know if this helps.
