Download Guile 3.0.9

Try installing Guile from your system packages first. It is likely that Guile is already packaged for the operating system you are using. This is the easiest and the recommended way of installing Guile. You can also install from the release tarballs, or cloning Guile's source code from the Git repository.

Installing packaged Guile

Guix

If you use GNU Guix, run the following command:

guix install guile

To install a particular version, add a version suffix like @3.0, as appropriate.

Trisquel, Debian, etc.

If you use Debian, Trisquel, or other Debian derivatives, run the following command:

apt-get install guile-3.0

It might take a little while for the new Guile 3.0 series to reach the Debian family, though. To get the older 2.2 series, try:

apt-get install guile-2.2

Parabola

If you use Parabola, run the following command:

pacman -S guile
