How to install cloc

Cloc is developer utility. Treat this as an orientation note. Anything prescriptive should come from the maintainers directly.

Paths onto a machine

Expect differences between platforms. The same project may reach one system through a package index and another through a source build.

Who is behind it

The project is self-governed. Whoever maintains it chooses what ships and when, and writes the accompanying material.

First things to confirm

Confirm the platform still falls inside the supported range. Projects of this kind move quickly, and older systems tend to be dropped with little ceremony.

Making sense of the result

If the outcome is not what was expected, the cause is nearly always environmental: an earlier copy, a different channel, or a cache that has not been refreshed.

What this domain is

This domain carries reading notes only. Nothing is stored or re-published here, and every project remains where its authors placed it.

A note on older machines

Hardware age matters more than people expect here. Recent releases tend to assume modern runtimes and current system libraries, so an ageing machine can rule out the newest version entirely.
