Another good Scheme implementation is [Chicken](http://www.call-cc.org). For our purposes, this is in some respects
superior to Racket, and in other respects inferior. If you have any issues with installing or using Racket, you could
try this out instead. You might even want to install both.

-Racket doesn't have R7RS-small, and won't anytime soon.
+Racket doesn't have R7RS-small, and won't anytime soon. :-(
+Also Chicken's library collection seems stronger, or at least better organized and maintained.
Other R7RS-friendly: [Gauche](http://practical-scheme.net/gauche), [Chibi](https://code.google.com/p/chibi-scheme).

* In a Terminal, type `sudo apt-get install haskell-platform`.
-It's useful to know about the general [Haskell wiki](https://wiki.haskell.org) (not restricted to just GHC). They have a [Getting Started](https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_5_steps) page, which also recommends that you install the Haskell Platform.

If any of the instructions above don't work, then you can try alternative instructions for [Mac](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/osx) or [Windows](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/windows) or [Ubuntu](http://new-www.haskell.org/downloads/linux). Note that this method doesn't install all the extensions that are part of the Haskell Platform, but only the core pieces of GHC. You can use Cabal to download and manage any extra extensions you turn out to need, down the road.
