Introduction

This page describes examples of how to install Dennou Tools in macOS.
DCL/C-DCL and their dependent libraries are installed by using MacPorts. Ruby is installed from rbenv and Ruby libraries are installed from RubyGems.

Do not install both Homebrew and MacPorts in the same system.
Some unexpected conflicts and errors may occur if both are installed together.

If you have any troubles or questions, contact Hiroki Kashimura <hiroki _(at)_ gfd-dennou.org>.
