You could:

  • download the source from https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/

  • install it into your home directory:

    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tcl
make install

  • when you want to use one of the tcllib packages:

    set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 $env(HOME)/tcl/lib]
package require cmdline

  • Did you try yum install tcllib? (I don't know what package manager that distro uses) Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 17:27
  • I tried but get the error Loaded plugins: security Setting up Install Process public_ol6_UEKR3_latest | 1.2 kB 00:00 public_ol6_latest | 1.4 kB 00:00 No package tcllib available. Error: Nothing to do Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 17:57
  • So, tcllib is not available in your package repositories. Install it manually Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 18:10
  • Oh, wait, a command line way to download the sources? Sure, copy the download link from core.tcl.tk and use curl or wget to download it. Commented Aug 16, 2018 at 18:12
