Install the Redtamarin SDK

You basically need a POSIX environment and install a .deb package.
for ex: $ sudo dpkg -i redtamarin-sdk_0.4.1_amd64.deb

Yes, for all the OS supported: Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, either 32-bit or 64-bit.

Why a SDK?

SDK stands for Software Development Kit and
it seems a bit of a mouthful for just some command-line tools,
but really it's not.

To support our Mission Statement

To support the use of the AS3 language for cross-platform command-line executable,
as single exe either for the desktop or the server, as scripts for automation,
as tools for the Flash Platform community.

To produce a couple of executables was not enough, we needed something bigger.

In Fact, Redtamarin "the project" is what we call a meta-project:
it generate runtimes, command-line tools, libraries, compilers,
define standard libraries, a native API, and tons of other stuff.

Here our official definition for The Redtamarin Software Development Kit

This meta-package provides a complete Redtamarin Software Development Kit.

Tools cover IDE support (SWC libraries), redshell runtimes (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)
for both 32-bit and 64-bit, ActionScript Compilers with ABC libraries,
and command-line utilities like redtamarin, redshell, redshell_d, redshell_dd, and redbean.
