About this course, how can I install MIT scheme on my personal computer? Can I install it on win7 or if I want to install it on linux which distribution of linux should I use?

Question

You can download and install it from here: http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/ There's a binary for windows on that page and most current distributions of linux would have it available through a package manager; however, you could also build it from the source.

Thank you. It's very helpful. Do you know how to evaluate a combination in the win7 environment? I typed (+ 1 2) in the Edwin editor and hit enter, but it didn't print out the result.

It's easy to miss, but the course contains a tutorial for using the interpreter under the tools section : http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/tools/dontpanicnew.pdf But I think you might need to hit Alt-o to make it evaluate.
