Custom Installation

The Squeak/Smalltalk programming system consists of three parts:

  • a virtual machine for your platform,
  • both image and changes files of a particular version, and
  • a sources file for the particular image file.

The image, changes, and sources files should be kept in the same folder. The base name of the image file must match the one of the changes file.

Windows/OS X: You can either drag the image file onto the virtual machine or double click the virtual machine and a window will appear asking you where the image is.

Linux: Make sure that you have 32-bit libraries and X11 installed, and that the squeak.sh script is executable. Run the script with the image file as a parameter.

Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines

The virtual machine (VM) executes Squeak image files on a particular platform. There may be more recent versions here than ones included in the all-in-one package.

Image and Changes

Image and Changes

The image file contains a snapshot of all living objects in Squeak. The changes file represents a textual log of all source code run and modified—it is like a simple, local versions database.

History

History_intro1

The first version of Squeak was released in 1996 at Apple Computer. It is a direct descendant of Smalltalk-80. While Squeak still supports the Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, its preferred UI framework is Morphic, which has been derived from the framework of the same name developed for Self.

History_intro2

Squeak is a self-supporting system that allows to generate new virtual machines (VMs) mostly from Smalltalk code. Originally developed on the Macintosh, members of its user community have since ported it to numerous platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
