Chapter 2. Installation
As Scratch programmers, we have the freedom to choose the environment in which we operate. In this chapter, I'll enumerate the installation choices you have.
I'll assume you know how to install and download software on your computer, so instead of offering a step-by-step installation guide, we'll focus on special installation options.
In this chapter, we will:
Install Scratch on Windows, OS X, and Linux
Run Scratch from a USB flash drive on Windows and OS X
Ensure our browsers are configured to view Java web applications
Review the Scratch license and distribution rights
Customize Scratch to work in networked environments
Sit down in front of your favorite operating system, and get on with the installation.
