# <a name='description'></a>DESCRIPTION

Be welcome to the *C Runtime In Tcl* \(short: *[CriTcl](critcl\.md)*\), a
system for embedding and using C code from within
[Tcl](http://core\.tcl\-lang\.org/tcl) scripts\.

The sources for *[CriTcl](critcl\.md)* are retrieved in two easy steps:

  1. [Install the Git Source Code Manager](#section2)

  1. [Retrieve The Sources](#section3)

It is now possible to follow the instructions on *[How To Install
CriTcl](critcl\_howto\_install\.md)*\.

# <a name='section2'></a>Install the Git Source Code Manager

*[CriTcl](critcl\.md)*'s sources are managed by the popular [Git
SCM](http://www\.git\-scm\.com)\.

Binaries of clients for popular platforms can be found at the [download
page](https://git\-scm\.com/downloads)\.

See also if your operating system's package manager provides clients and
associated tools for installation\. If so, follow the instructions for the
installation of such packages on your system\.

# <a name='section3'></a>Retrieve The Sources

  1. Choose a directory for the sources, and make it the working directory\.

  1. Invoke the command

     > git clone [http://andreas\-kupries\.github\.io/critcl](http://andreas\-kupries\.github\.io/critcl)

  1. The working directory now contains a sub\-directory "critcl" holding the
     sources of *[CriTcl](critcl\.md)*\.
