Download link for arc3.tar is broken

2 points by FrankLee 4096 days ago | 5 comments

Hi, all---

I'd like to get started exploring Arc, but the link on the install page didn't work for me:

I loaded http://www.ycombinator.com/arc/arc3.tar , which gave me a 404 error and suggested trying the following link instead:

http://old.ycombinator.com/arc/arc3.tar

which led to:

404 Not Found

    Code: NoSuchKey
    Message: The specified key does not exist.
    Key: arc/arc3.tar
    RequestId: 11E5153DED790806
    HostId: Ffa6lgTxr3DdVHzCCN4MQ4awDRRvZ5fPGYzklq3ihmY7+cq28722q9fRHTxEeFW1Y6q9GvtryC8=

I'd like to try Arc, but looks like I'll need someone to help me get arc3.tar

Thanks!

Frank

Thanks for reporting this! I bet this happened because of the HN redesign. There was some other stuff that broke on the site when that happened: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=18744 . I'll email the people at YC that can fix it.

Until they get it fixed, you can try Anarki instead. Anarki is a fork of Arc that's been changed somewhat, both to fix bugs and to add features. https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki .

Our informal frontpage since the one here is so out of date: http://arclanguage.github.io

They put Arc3.1 back up. (The Arc3 link is not 404ing, but points to the Arc3.1 download).

To make it work, install any version of racket.

Download and untar Arc 3.1, and cd into that directory.

Run it with racket -f as.scm

You'll be dropped into an Arc repl. Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions here, or contact one of us.

Oh, so arc3.tar is now really arc3.1.tar?

Yeah, if you try to download http://ycombinator.com/arc/arc3.tar, it results in downloading arc3.1.tar .
