1. Install version 352 of MzScheme. (This is the version we use. Don't use the latest version. There is said to be some bug/feature in it that breaks Arc.)

2. Get http://ycombinator.com/arc/arc2.tar and untar it.

3. Type mzscheme -m -f as.scm and you should get an Arc prompt.

4. If you ^C an Arc program, you'll get the Scheme REPL. Use (tl) to get back to the Arc REPL.

5. If you have questions or suggestions, post them on the forum.

Arc3F has a launcher script for Linux which is supposed to work with any sufficiently Unix-like system (it's tested and works with GNU/Linux, specifically Ubuntu Hardy Heron; AFAIK the others here don't have problems, so it'll probably work with a large enough percentage of GNU/Linux systems). It also has a launcher batch file which is supposed to work with Windows; eds and b0R_ report that they have managed to run Arc3F with that batch file.

You are not supposed to use mzscheme -m -f with Arc3F, although I haven't actually tried; it might work.

The uname error is not Arc4F specific. I keep meaning to look into it but then I find something more interesting to do instead :)
