Installed Software

We try to have uniformity in the software installed on the computers in the lab. This page contains a list of software installed on them other than the factory default software.

1. Common

This is software that is installed on all of the computers.

  • Active TCL - ActiveState provides a newer version of Tcl/Tk than Apple. It has the added advantage of being a Universal binary that works on PPC and x86, unlike the version that comes with MacOS X 10.4, which is a PPC version that has to run in emulation on an x86 like our iMacs. MacOS X 10.5 has a more current (and Universal) version of Tcl/Tk and consequently doesn't need ActiveTCL. On the PC ActiveTCL provides Tcl/Tk, as Microsoft ships no version. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/activetcl/ ActiveTCL website]

  • Firefox - a popular web browser. [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Firefox website]

  • Gimp - An opensource image editing program. Not as powerful as Photoshop, but free instead of over $600, and it does everything a non-poweruser needs. [http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp website] [http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ Gimp.app website]

  • Linger - A program written in Tcl/Tk for doing language experiments, particularly self-paced reading studies. [http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Linger/ Linger website]

  • R - The R statistics package. The install includes the optional [http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran GNU Fortran] in /usr/local/bin/ on the Macs for compiling some R packages that aren't available as binaries. [http://www.r-project.org/ R website]

  • Praat - A phonetic analysis program. [http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ Praat website]

  • Vim - Version 7.2 is installed on the PCs. On the Macs is MacVim, which is the Mac GUI version. The current version of MacVim uses Vim 7.2.49, whereas the terminal version on MacOS X 10.4 is 6.2 and on 10.5 is 7.2.22 [http://www.vim.org Vim website] [http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ MacVim website]

  • Git - A distributed version control system originally written by Linus Torvalds of Linux fame. On Macs in the lab it's installed in /usr/local/git/bin, and on Linux boxes in /usr/bin/. In the CS environment it's installed in /p/hlp/corpora/bin. [http://git.or.cz/ Git website]

  • Bazaar - A distributed version control system written and maintained by [http://canonical.com/ Canonical Software]. It is conceptually similar to Git, but is designed to be easier to use, especially if you have experience with CVS or Subversion. Bazaar can be used in a distributed or centralized manner. [http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar website]

  • Mercurial - Another popular distributed version control system. [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ Mercurial website]

  • NITE XML Toolkit - Speech and video annotation tool. [http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/NITE/index.html Nite XML Toolkit website]

  • OpenOffice.org - An opensource cross platform office suite from Sun descended from StarOffice. [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice.org website]

  • Blender - Opensource 3D animation program. Has a superset of Poser functionality, Python scripting that actually works, and it's free. [http://www.blender.org/ Blender website]

  • MPEG Streamclip - A free (not opensource) program for converting between video formats (including the audio stream), resizing video, and trimming video clips. platypus and echidna have the necessary Quicktime plugin for it to convert to and from MPEG2 (needed for e.g. DVD ripping). [http://www.squared5.com/ MPEG Streamclip website]

2. iMacs

The iMacs in the lab have the same software as much as possible.

  • Apple Developer Tools - Located in /Developer are the Apple developer tools including XCode and Interface builder. This also puts GCC in /usr/bin/. [http://developer.apple.com/ Apple Developer Connection]

  • Adium - A multi-protocol IM client. It does AIM, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and several others. [http://www.adiumx.com/ Adium website]

  • Aquamacs Emacs - A Mac friendly GUI for Emacs. [http://aquamacs.org/ Aquamacs website]

  • Python - The default version of Python that comes with MacOS X 10.4 is rather old (2.3.5) and doesn't support readline command line editing and history. The official (non-Apple) Python provides a more up to date version with readline. MacOS X 10.5 comes with version 2.5.1, but the current version is 2.6, which is installed on all the Macs currently. [http://www.python.org/download/ Python website]

  • MacFusion - A GUI front end for MacFUSE. Particularly useful for SSHfs. [http://www.macfusionapp.org/index.html MacFusion website]

  • Colordiff - A perl script that color highlights diffs. Very useful for software development. Several DVCS systems will use it if installed. [http://colordiff.sourceforge.net/ Colordiff website]

  • subversion - A popular version control system. The Developer Tools for Mac OS X 10.5 comes with subversion, but installers exist for 10.4. [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion website]
