So far, we have talked about three main PLT Scheme executables:
|
|
|
|
@itemize[
|
|
|
|
@item{DrScheme, which is the development environment.}
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{mzscheme}, which is the console-based virtual machine for
|
|
running PLT Scheme programs (and that can be used as a
|
|
development environment in interactive mode);}
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{mred}, which is like @scheme{mzscheme}, but for GUI
|
|
applications.}
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Three more executables help in compiling PLT Scheme programs and in
|
|
maintaining a PLT Scheme installation:
|
|
|
|
@itemize[
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{mzc} is a command-line tool for miscellaneous tasks, such
|
|
as compiling Scheme source to bytecode, generating executables, and
|
|
building distribution packages, and compiling C-implemented
|
|
extensions to work with the run-time system. The @exec{mzc} is
|
|
described in @other-manual['(lib
|
|
"scribblings/mzc/mzc.scrbl")].
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a program @filepath{take-over-world.ss} and
|
|
you'd like to compile it to bytecode, along with all of its
|
|
dependencies, so that it loads more quickly, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{mzc take-over-the-world.ss}}
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{setup-plt} is a command-line tool for managing a PLT
|
|
Scheme installation, including manually installed packages. The
|
|
@exec{setup-plt} tool is described in @other-manual['(lib
|
|
"scribblings/setup-plt/setup-plt.scrbl")].
|
|
|
|
For example, if you create your own library @techlink{collection}
|
|
called @filepath{take-over}, and you'd like to build all bytecode and
|
|
documentation for the collection, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{setup-plt -l take-over}}
|
|
|
|
@item{@exec{planet} is a command-line tool for managing packages that
|
|
are normally downloaded automatically, on demand. The @exec{planet}
|
|
tool is described in @other-manual['(lib "planet/planet.scrbl")].
|
|
|
|
For example, if you'd like to see a list of @|PLaneT| packages that
|
|
are currently installed, then run
|
|
|
|
@commandline{planet show}}
