Installing LiveCode 6 (community edition
- Download the installer
- Registration information (email, password) from RunRev.com are required to install. If you already have an account, the password can be reset here.
- There is ongoing discussion about the technical and privacy issues around the registration requirement:
- Students may not even have an email in educational environments
- An Internet connection is required for each installation - a workaround includes logging while having connectivtiy and getting an encrypted license file
- RunRev staff has indicated they don't consider this a problem and suggest forking the code as an option
- They have since changed their mind , and decided to make this process optional in the future.
