How to download and Install APL? - installation

I want to work with APL programming language, I have searched for hours and I couldn't figure out how to install it, the only useful stuff I found was the APL keyboard and such a mentioned here. So my question is, how can I properly install it?

or have a look at http://www.gnu.org/software/apl/
which is free.

Try NGN APL, it works in the browser.

Nars2000 is a free GPL apl that runs natively on Windows and has a nice installer and gui. http://www.nars2000.org/

For the Mac:
brew install gnu-apl

tryapl.org uses Dyalog APL, so I will assume you're interested in getting a licence, downloading and installing that. The licenses for personal use of Dyalog APL are free, so you need to apply for personal, non-commercial license using the form on their website. Following that, you'll get an email with instructions for download & installaton :-)
P.S: Dyalog is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

How to use gollum on Windows? Is it possible?

I want to use the wiki on GitHub, and also use without Internet.
So I focus on gollum -- A git-based Wiki,but it is not possible on Windows.
But in the README.md on GitHub, they say in the Windows JRuby (1.9.3+ compatible) is needed, and gollum is almost supported.
I want to ask for a guide about how to use gollum on Windows, but i don't find further.
So according to a comment (from 2020) in the ticket linked in the other answer, it is possible to run Gollum using JRuby.
I just tried that (February 2021) with JRuby 9.2.14.0 and it worked for me.
Brief instructions (from said comment):
Just use the JRuby for Windows installer and gem install gollum.
The short answer is no. There is a discussion of Gollom's Windows support here. There are a few nasty hacks to get some of it working, but if you value your time choose another wiki.
https://github.com/gollum/gollum/issues/23
There have been several other Gollum based projects like Realms Wiki but they continued to have problems with Windows. There are lots of enthusiastic discussions between people who want to get them working under Windows but there appears to be too many issues relating to Posix/Windows incompatibilities that it didn't seem worth the time or effort to make it work.
The general advice moved towards installing Vagrant, VirtualBox, WSL or another virtual machine and run it under a Unix operating system instead.
#20211225 - gollum on Windows 10
Install cmake (https://cmake.org/download/)
I've used cmake-3.22.1-windows-x86_64.msi
Install ruby (https://rubyinstaller.org/)
I've used Ruby+Devkit 3.0.3-1 (x64)
gem install gollum
Installation really took a while, then be patient.
Everything worked ok.
I've had just problems to make gollum to access the home.md
page of my wiki, then I solved it using this url

how do I uninstall Xcode 5.1.1 completely?

i'm running mavericks and want to remove Xcode 5.1.1 so i can use more powerful tools. I see that there are some bloatware programs out there for uninstalling Xcode 5.1.1 but none of them really seem credible. Please help!
A Mac application I can recommend (since I am using it myself) is CleanMyMac. It has several cleaning features and also the deinstallation of applications is possible.
It is paid, however there is a trial version and if you only need it once then that should work.
[Note: I do not have any relation with the product if people may doubt, I just like and recommend it since it really does what it should and fits your needs.]
Hope that helps :)
I've had good luck using this application for complete removal: http://www.appzapper.com/ (I'm not affiliated with them. It's just a good tool.)

How can I create debian package (*.deb) from ruby application written with qt4?

I found a lot of tutorials how to build application with Ruby and Qt, but i have no idea how anybody else will be able to run it! I am using Ubuntu 11.10, ruby 1.9.2 with rvm and:
rbqtapi -v output "QtRuby 2.0.5 using Qt-4.7.4"
P.S. I have no idea how to build *.deb, it will be my first desktop app, not web.
please have a look on http://shoesrb.com/ this is the best way I heard off for writing GUI apps.
Shoes has now not it's greatest time, but we put our best time to make it better, give it a try and someone will help you.
In case you are in need of assistance just ask as question on #shoes IRC channel on freenode servers.
If you're sold on QT, then you will need your users to install all the support libraries for QT (and anything else), then you can upload a rubygem to rubygems.org for your users to download.
Once, they've installed the support libraries, you'd only need to update your rubygem, which is fairly quick and easy for updates.
You may also wan to look at visualruby. It uses GTK. Then you'd install the GTK libraries instead of the QT ones.
http://www.visualruby.net
As far as .deb packages go, I tried to research the same thing with little success. The rubygems packaging system is designed to distribute ruby programs, so it is the best way to go. Also, you'll need to install different support libraries for different platforms. If you look at visualruby's install page, you can see how to install GTK for Linux and Windows.
Good Luck.

ImageMagick commercial equivalent for both OSX and Windows

Is there a commercial product out there that can provide what ImageMagick "convert" function provides for both Windows and OSX?
I'm planning on a distributing a desktop app that requires "convert" functionality but the installations for ImageMagick for OSX is not trivial. The dependancy on Ghostscript for vector graphics is also a barrier.
I was hoping to find a vendor that can provide the same functionality all in one package for both Windows and OSX and buy a distribution license from them. I'm hoping this could give me a more robust experience for the user as far as the installation. Any advise on this topic is much appreciated.
as far as I can tell, installing ImageMagick on Mac OSX is quite easy. You just have to install MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php) and do a sudo port install ImageMagick
