CS 334: Running Lisp

Unix Lab Computers

You can run lisp on any of our Linux lab computers using the clisp command.

The names of our Unix computers are listed on the department's web page here. You'll need to run the VPN to access that page (and our computers) from off campus.

Personal Computers

You can also install clisp on your own computer. Here are minimal installation instructions to do so.
They should be sufficient in the most common cases, but your mileage may vary...

Mac

On the command line run the following:

brew install clisp

**Note: Support for Mac's M1 processors is relatively new but appears to be stable. If you run into problems, your best bet is to ssh to a lab machine. **

Windows 10

Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/clisp/files/clisp/2.49/clisp-2.49-win32-mingw-big.exe. Run that executable to install clisp. On my machine, you can then run the interpreter with the command

c:\Program Files (x86)\clisp-2.49\clisp.exe

Linux

On the command line run the following:

sudo apt-get install clisp
