All-in-One Download
Fastest way to start is Squeak All-in-One distribution (aka One-Click), prepared for Linux, Mac and Windows.
Individual Download
To use Squeak, you need to have two things:
- SqueakVM (Virtual Machine) for your operating system. This is the executable that allows Squeak code to run identically on platforms.
- Image file. This holds all the objects that you will use and develop; there are many Image files available, and you can install and run many different images with the same VM and Sources files. Image files are platform-independent.
To develop and use all functionality in Squeak you also will need:
- Sources file. Sources are used when viewing source code; you can use Squeak without it, but you will not see variable names, version history and comments! The sources file must be in the same directory as the SqueakVM.
- Changes file. The changes file holds the amendments caused to the Sources as you create classes, develop new versions of methods and execute code. Most images you use will have a changes file associated with them and are named like the image file. For example, "a.image" would have "a.changes" with it, while "b.image" would have "b.changes" associated with it, and so on. The changes file must be in the same directory as the image file.
- VMPlugins. These are mostly built into the SqueakVM but sometimes you will need to download and store plugins in the SqueakVM directory.
If you are new to Squeak you can just download the latest stable release from the download box on the right.
If you are following a tutorial or other reference work, you may need a specific image. You can do so by copying the required image file and changes file into your squeak directory and drag and drop it on the SqueakVM. Double-clicking the Image file to launch work on some MacOS, instructions to make it work on Windows look here
While your download is in progress you might want to have a look at the Installation page which contains links to platform specific installation instructions.
If your machine platform is not listed in the download box or you want to get a specific version of Squeak, then you have to download three files individually: the Virtual Machine, the Image file and the Sources file.
Virtual Machine
- The SqueakVM site at www.squeakvm.org and its mailing list.
Image file
This is the official Squeak release.
Sources
Sources are used when viewing source code, duh. You can use Squeak without it but, you will not see variable names, version history and comments! The sources file get updated from time, so make sure you have the right one for your image. The sources file _must_ be in the SqueakVM directory
- SqueakV4.1.sources for Squeak 4.1 for Squeak 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3
- SqueakV4.0.sources for Squeak 4.0
