A Squeak/Smalltalk-based programming environment and framework that supports low-effort construction of graphical tools by employing a data-driven perspective and a script-based programming model.
A programming environment and framework that supports *interactive*, *data-driven*, *scriptable* construction of graphical tools with low effort. It is implemented in Squeak/Smalltalk. [](https://gitter.im/hpi-swa/vivide?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
## How to Install [](http://travis-ci.org/hpi-swa/vivide)
1. Get [Squeak 5.3 or later](http://www.squeak.org) with a recent [OpenSmalltalkVM](https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm) for your operating system.
2. If not already integrated, load [Metacello](https://github.com/dalehenrich/metacello-work). Learn how it [works](https://github.com/dalehenrich/metacello-work/blob/master/docs/MetacelloUserGuide.md).
3. Finally, load VIVIDE into your Squeak image:
```Smalltalk
Metacello new
baseline: 'Vivide';
repository: 'github://hpi-swa/vivide:master/repository';
"get; --- for updates"
load.
```
Then, create and enter a new *animated Morphic project*. There, your can open Vivide with ```VivideLight open```.
See [FAQ](https://github.com/hpi-swa/vivide/wiki/FAQ) for further information.
## Latest Stable Build [](https://squeak.js.org/run#url=https://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/artefacts/vivide/&files=%5BVivide-Squeak-5.1.image,Vivide-Squeak-5.1.changes,SqueakV50.sources%5D&forceDownload=true)
You can download a Squeak/Smalltalk image with the latest working version of Vivide pre-installed from [here](https://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/artefacts/vivide/). Additionally, you may want to get the latest [OpenSmalltalkVM](https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm) and [sources](http://ftp.squeak.org/sources_files/) file.
