<p dir="ltr">The squeak mailing list is happy to help you with problems that have to do with squeak. This assumes you know the basics of how to install/use a program on your computer. While there are basic instructions for Windows and MacOS, there aren't for Linux for a few reasons: both Windows and Mac are very mainstream OS's, and so they have very unified ways of installing things. Also, there is really only 1 or 2 ways to install something on one of those systems. This is not the case with Linux. The Linux way of doing things focuses on the super old school UNIX mentality that the person using the system knows what they're doing better than any program or developer can guess, and so the power, and responsibility, is in your hands.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"...or you can just give them the source code, and have them figure it out. Linux users aren't retarded." - a friend of mine giving another friend advice on releasing some software.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I mention this because, if you use Linux, it's the user's responsibility to know (or figure out) how to get a piece of software working. Whether you need too look up something using the man pages, or ask a question on your distribution's forums, "How do I get <insert_program_name_here> to run?" isn't really a question for the squeak community if you're on a Linux machine.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pardon my ranting, I'm a little drunk and bored, and saw this message on my phone, thinking "What the hell. *shrug*"</p>
<p dir="ltr">That being said, double-clicking the "squeak.sh" in the extracted all-in-one folder should get everything running, or give you error messages that Google could help with. </p>
