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. ActiveTCL website

  • Firefox - a popular web browser. 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. Gimp website Gimp.app website

  • Linger - A program written in Tcl/Tk for doing language experiments, particularly self-paced reading studies. Linger website

  • R - The R statistics package. The install includes the optional GNU Fortran in /usr/local/bin/ on the Macs for compiling some R packages that aren't available as binaries. R website

  • Praat - A phonetic analysis program. 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 7.3.237, whereas the terminal version on MacOS X 10.4 is 6.2, on 10.5 is 7.2.22, and on 10.6 is 7.2.108 Vim website 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. Git website
