Introduction

This document describes how to install and use MIT/GNU Scheme Pucked, an experimental version of MIT/GNU Scheme, the UnCommon Lisp. It gives installation instructions for all of the supported platforms; complete documentation of the command-line options and environment variables that control how Scheme works; and rudimentary descriptions of how to interact with the evaluator, compile and debug programs, and use the editor.

This experimental version is a snapshot of the master branch in the MIT/GNU Scheme project source repository on Savannah, with additional plugins. The differences between this “pucked” version and master have been kept to a minimum. At the moment they are focused on supporting a large library of plugins. A complete list of user-visible changes is provided in Release Notes.

The primary distribution site for this software is

Please include the output of the identify-world procedure (see Basics of Starting Scheme), so Puck knows what versions you are using.
