QuickTime 7.6.6 is available for OS X, 10.6.3 Snow Leopard until 10.14 Mojave, as 10.15 Catalina will only support 64-bit applications. There is a 7.7 release of QuickTime 7 for OS X, but it is only for Leopard 10.5. QuickTime 7.7.6 is the last release for Windows XP. Installing Git – the easy way. Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Scala 2.42r for OS X 10.5 'Leopard' to 10.14 'Mojave' on Intel/Mac. See the contents listing for a brief description of each scale file in the archive.

WARNING: RemoveSymantecMacFiles does not target a single Symantec product. It removes all files and folders for ALL Symantec and Norton products for Mac, including any contents you have created yourself within those folders.

  • OS X El Capitan (10.11) OS X Yosemite (10.10) OS X Mavericks (10.9) OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) OS X Lion (10.7) Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) Supported Configurations Include: FileVault 1 / FileVault 2. Core Storage (Fusion Drive). Flash / SSD drives. Internal / External Volumes. Time Machine Volumes. RAID (Promise, G-RAID.
  • Solaris, Linux, and OS X Refer to the Java™ SE Troubleshooting web site for descriptions of tools, options, and other information to use in analyzing problems. The documents at this site contain suggestions about what to try before submitting a bug report and what data to collect for a report.

To download and run RemoveSymantecMacFiles:

  1. Download RemoveSymantecMacFiles.zip from article attachments.
    • Symantec updates this tool regularly to accommodate changes introduced in newer releases of Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh, so if you have not downloaded it recently, we recommend that you do so now.
  2. On the target computer, double-click the RemoveSymantecMacFiles.zip file that you downloaded so that the file expands.
    • We recommend using the built-in Archive Utility to expand this file.
    • NOTE: To use this tool, you must be logged in to the Macintosh with an Administrator account with a non-blank password.
  3. Open the RemoveSymantecMacFiles folder.
  4. Double-click RemoveSymantecMacFiles.command (if you do not display file extensions, it appears as RemoveSymantecMacFiles). This will launch a Terminal window.
    • If an OS security prompt appears ('... can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer') then use control-click to open and bypass security prompt (see Open a Mac app from an unindentified developer for more information).
  5. Type your macOS password, and then press return.
    • NOTE: When you type your password, no characters appear.
  6. Do one of the following:
    • To remove all Symantec files and folders, type 1
    • To quit RemoveSymantecMacFiles without removing any files, type 2
  7. Press Return.
  8. The utility RemoveSymantecMacFiles removes all files within Symantec-installed folders, even those you may have created yourself.
  9. On the Terminal menu, click Quit Terminal.

SymantecRemovalTool (SymantecRemovalTool.zip) is a modification to RemoveSymantecMacFiles, designed to be pushed out using customer's choice of remote deployment tool. It requires no user input when running as root. As with RemoveSymantecMacFiles, all files and folders that Symantec Mac products have created will be removed; therefore, you will lose all files that reside in those folders, including any that you have created manually. For more information, please see the readme file included with the SymantecRemovalTool download. Symantec provides support for SymantecRemovalTool/RemoveSymantecMacFiles only when running them locally; it is the customer's responsibility to integrate SymantecRemovalTool with Apple Remote Desktop or other remote deployment tools.

Both of these tools require no arguments. Any arguments they receive are each assumed to be potential installation points for Symantec products. Remote deployment solutions (Casper, JAMF, et al) that automatically populate shell script arguments ($1, $2, etc) with other data may cause the Symantec tool to throw an error. To work around this, the remote deployment solution may be configured to call first a dummy script that in turn calls the removal tool without any extra arguments.

Both of these tools will not silently remove the new *.systemextension type in macOS 10.15 Catalina. A local user must provide administrative credentials for this step when the script moves the Symantec application to the Trash.

Versions 2.0 and higher have a graphical user interface based on the powerful Gtk+ toolkit which enables portability between Linux, Unix and Windows platforms. After installing, see readme.txt for more information.Download for Windows, Linux-Intel, Macintosh,Linux-ARM. Download the scale archive

You can help to create more user interface translations for Scala! Now Scala is available in English and Dutch. Download the Portable Object Template. See here for an explanation.When you've made one, please email me the new .po file you've created from the scala.pot file and I will include it in the installers.

Versions 1.x are a console application with only a command line which runs in a terminal window (command window, xterm, etc.)

PC/Intel

  • Scala 2.44z for Windows,http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.exe (3.4 MB)

    To install on Windows, first download the Gtk+ Windows Runtime Environment installer available from https://gtk-win.sourceforge.io/home/index.php/Main/Downloads. The version should be the 32-bit 2.24.10 for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.In the GTK2 runtime installer, leave the tickboxes in the additional options on, especially the one with the PATH variable. You can also use the GTK2 Themes installer (GTK+ Preference Tool) from SourceForge.net: GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment to change the visual style of Scala. You will also needthe GTK+ Themes Package.Should you have an older Gtk+ version installed then uninstall it first.

    Then run the Scala_Setup.exe program and choose an installation directory, for example C:Program FilesScala22 or C:Scala22. It can be installed in an existing directory overwriting a previous version.

    If you get an error message about a missing entry point of libglib-2.0-0.dll, or different error messages about dlls, there is probably another incompatible Gtk version installed in another location, or the PATH (environment variable) does not contain the C:Program Files (x86)GTK2-Runtimebin folder.In case it does there's probably an incompatible version installed or left over. Then try moving thisfolder more to the left in the PATH variable.(Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment Variables). Also search for Gtk files in otherlocations on the computer, especially the system area windowssystem32 where they don't belong, orother directories contained in the PATH variable.
    If that still does not help, or if you don't know how to do the above things, you can then better use the portable Windows version of Scala, listed below.

    If you want to make graphical plots like scale plots, interval histograms, etc. then the Windowsversion of GNUplot must be downloaded and installed also from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/

  • Scala 2.44w for Windows, Portable version.http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Portable_Win32.zip (22.3 MB)

    With this version, installation of the Gtk+ Windows Runtime Environment is not necessary, although it also will not do any harm or benefit.Unzip the zip archive on the local hard disk and start Scala.exe by navigating where it was copied and then into the Scala22 folder.The GTK+ Preference Tool is included and can be started by double clicking gtk2_prefs.exe.

  • Scala 2.42p for 32-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-pc-linux.tar.bz2 (4.2 MB)

    Install the following packages:

    • aconnectgui (recommended)
    • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
    • libgnat-4.6
    • playmidi (recommended)
    • timidity (recommended)
  • Scala 2.44w for 64-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-pc64-linux.tar.bz2 (4.5 MB)

    Install the following packages:

    • aconnectgui (recommended)
    • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
    • libgnat-5.4
    • playmidi (recommended)
    • timidity (recommended)
    Be aware that this release requires gcc version 5.4 with which it was built.

    For all Linux distros, read the file INSTALL for instructions. See theLinux MIDI HOWTO for adding virtual MIDI ports to be used by Scala and Scala's readme.txt.
    I recommend the desktop environment XFCE rather than Gnome.It leaves the menu and button icons visible whereas Gnome removes them. The icons arehelpful to find the right menu item more quickly because Scala has many menu items. You caneasily install XFCE plus associated other packages in Ubuntu. Then log out, and chooseXFCE in the login screen settings. The file manager is also better in my opinion.

  • Scala 1.88e for Windows XP and higher,http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala18win.zip (2.2 MB)
    (This is a 32-bit console mode executable which runs in a Command Prompt window)
  • Scala 1.88e for 64-bit GNU/Linux on PC/Intel, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-18-pc64-linux.tar.gz (2.3 MB)
    (This is a 64-bit console mode executable which runs in a Terminal window)
    This version runs on recent Ubuntu versions, on which currently the full version is not supported.So if you do not have an older Linux version with gcc 5.4, then this is an alternative.
  • Scala 1.88e for different architectures under GNU/Linux: contact the author.

Macintosh

Memo to Mac users, before sending me an email please read carefully the bottom paragraph of this page.

  • Scala 2.42r for OS X 10.5 'Leopard' to 10.14 'Mojave' on Intel/Mac, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.app.zip (6.4 MB)
    Warning: Do not use this version if you plan to use the MIDI out function with SimpleSynth for example.Due to a bug which still needs fixing it does not work. Instead download the previous version 2.42q for 10.5 'Leopard' to 10.14 'Mojave':
    http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup_2.42q.app.zip

Steps

  1. Update XQuartz

    Download and install the latest Apple XQuartz package suitable for your OSX version fromhttps://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html.

  2. Install Gtk2 Runtime

    http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/gtk2-2.24.31.mpkg (111 MB) (right-click, Save as). You do not need to reinstall this runtime library for every new Scala release. However if you encounteran incompatible library version message when starting Scala, then download and install the new version of this runtime also. Always install Scala again after installing this package.
    In case you have MacPorts installed, then do not install this package but enter this command: sudo port install gtk2, andsudo port install gnuplot if you want to make graphic plots.
    Or if you have Homebrew installed, then do not install gtk2 with Homebrew because that will not be compatible with Scala, use the mpkg installer instead. But installing gnuplot with sudo brew install gnuplot should be fine.

  3. Download, unzip and install Scala fromhttp://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/Scala_Setup.app.zip
  4. Check Security setting (OSX 10.8 to 10.14)

    In OSX 10.8 and higher, it is necessary to allow any downloaded applications to be run. This is shown by Scala's installer. The installer shows how, but does not check what the setting actually is and it is not an error message.

  5. Install SimpleSynth

    It plays via Apple's DLS Synthesizer and it can set soundfonts: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/SimpleSynth.shtml.

Start SimpleSynth and then start Scala. Then you can select the SimpleSynth virtual port in Scala's Sound Settings dialog to play MIDI. More on this page by Curtis Macdonald.If you have done an OSX upgrade from 10.6 up then there may be issues with X11. In that case uninstall X11, reboot and install the right version of X11 for the OSX version. In case of problems with Scala please check X11 first.Os x archive utility boxesUtility
  • Scala 2.22d for OS X 10.4 'Tiger' on PowerPC/Mac, http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/ScalaX.zip (8.0 MB)

    Note: If you have OS X 10.5 on PowerPC then use the following workaround:

  1. Update XQuartz

    Download and install the latest Apple XQuartz package fromhttps://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html.It's included with Xcode on Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard'. It's located in the 'Optional Installs.mpkg' package on the Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' DVD. It's on disk 3 of the Mac OS X 10.3 'Jaguar' CD set.

  2. Install MacPorts
  3. Install gtk2 from MacPorts. Go to Utilities and start Terminal, then type

    sudo port install gtk2

  4. Scala

    a) Download and install Tiger package

    b) Control-click Scala.app, Show Package Contents

    c) Open Scala.app's Contents/Resources/script with your favourite text editor

    d) Delete lines 13-27

    e) Save Contents/Resources/script

  5. Double-click Scala.app to run

Please read the following instructions carefully if you use 10.4 and the information on Install and use Scala on Mac OS X 10.4, especially if you still have OS X 10.3.
- Check if X11 is installed. If so, you should see an X11 icon insideApplications/Utilities/X11. If not, install it from Apple's OS X DVD (or the above website).
- Unzip ScalaX.zip
- Mount the Scala.dmg disk image (double click on it)
- Drag the Scala folder from the image into the Applications folder
- Double click on Scala inside the Scala folder to run
- Type 'help' in the bottom line of the Scala window

  • For other OSX versions, you can download the Windows version and the Windows Gtk+ runtime and run it under CrossOver Mac.The message 'Unsupported Software' can be ignored. Sound output works too.

Linux, Unix

Mac Os Archive Utility Unable To Expand

  • Scala 2.44p for 32-bit Linux on ARMv7 (armhf) http://www.huygens-fokker.org/software/scala-22-armv7-32-linux.tar.bz2 (4.3 MB)

Osx Archive Utility

Install the following packages:

  • gnuplot (if not installed yet, dependency only if graphic plots are made)
  • libgnat-4.9
  • playmidi (recommended)
  • timidity (recommended)
It's only tested on a Raspberry PI with Cortex-A processor.

For all Linux distros, read the file INSTALL for instructions. See theLinux MIDI HOWTO for adding virtual MIDI ports to be used by Scala and Scala's readme.txt.

Os X Archive Utility Not Working

Scala can be compiled on almost every other variety of Linux and Unix.For PC/Intel, see above. For other platforms, contact the author at coul@huygens-fokker.org.

Scale Archive

A large collection of over 5000 scale files for Scala is also available for download.

  • Scale archive, version 90, October 2020:http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/scales.zip
    The files will go to a subdirectory 'scl' of the current directory.The best way to unzip them is to do File:Import scales.zip in Scala since that takes care of the factthat they are stored in Windows text format (CR-LF).
    Macintosh OSX, Linux and Unix users: if you don't do it like this, you can unzip them via the command line with the -a (autoconvert) option. Right-click on the link and save it in the user or home directory. Go to Utilities and start Terminal, then navigate with cd if you saved it somewhere else and type:

    unzip -aa scales.zip

    N.B. If the files are unzipped on Mac and Linux like normal without this option,they cannot be opened!! Do not just double click on the zipfile assuming that it works!

Osx Archive Utility Operation Not Permitted

See the contents listing for a brief description of each scale file in the archive.Here's a description of the file format.
