ScmPkg is the extension mechanism used in STklos. It permits to download, install or uninstall packages with a single command: stklos-pkg.
At first sight, this command is similar to the Gnu/Debian apt-get, the Fedora yum or the pacman Arch Linux
commands. In fact, this command is a little more than that since it permits to port code written for different implementations of Scheme to STklos. For more information on this aspect of The ScmPkg system, you can read the DLS'08 paper.
- Using ScmPkg is easy and basic principles are described here.
- Available packages are split in two categories:
- Common packages: that is packages which are (potentially) portable among various systems thanks to ScmPkg.
- STklos packages: that is packages which are written specifically for STklos but use ScmPkg to ease their installation.
