How does one install an interpreter by hand? copy python.zip to the sdcard?

It's not possible to install interpreters by hand without being root since it requires access to the private data directory of ASE. If you copy the .zip files to your SD card, however, ASE will skip the download step.

Where do i find alternate interpeters, like perl and jruby, i opened ase recently and had a longer list of interperters available to download and install such as perl, jruby, jruby extra, and some others, however after i installed them i kept getting mis matched hash and md5 error so i decided to delete the downloads from sdcard, but errors continued so i uninstalled and reinstalled the app but now only lua and python are the only interpreters available to download. I even checked in the data dir lua and python are the only folders there.

@haitiankid4lyf I'm not completely clear on what your question is. You install interpreters from the Add Interpreter menu. Currently, there is no support to uninstall interpreters. If there's a failed download, you'll need to manually remove the downloaded zip files from your SD card.

I've installed ASE but Perl didn't appear in the list of interpreters. So I downloaded the archives perlr0.zip and have them sitting under /sdcard. However when I run ASE they still don't appear in the list of interpreters to install. Any ideas?

If you have problems to install perl, you should try the new version of ASE first. The following procedures for manual install.

prepare: 1. download and unzip the android-sdk

(or you only need tools/ and usb_driver (win32) )

2. install busybox into your android devices, it would provide unzip

3. perl_r0.zip for the perl interpret

4. you might need root permission (I am not sure about this)

procedure: ( step 1 and 2 may be replaced by using usb mass storage copy)

1. adb shell mkdir /sdcard/asetmp

2. adb push perl_r0.zip /sdcard/asetmp

3. adb shell

4. the following commands issued under adb shell:

cd /data/data/com.google.ase unzip /sdcard/asetmp/perl_r0.zip

5. it's done and could be seen by ASE r13

The demo scripts are stored in the "/sdcard/ase/scripts". You may use USB mass storage mode to copy/unzip.

I've updated the troubleshooting section with my suggested workaround. I know it is far from ideal. I hope to address these issues in the next release.

Not sure if it would help, but thinking that a bsh script that let's people give a yes or no to download specific interpreters, that then goes and gets the interpreter and either tells ASE to install the downloaded interpreters, or reminds the user to exit ASE and restart to install the downloaded interpreters might be handy.

If it can be done in a small enough code block, post a qrcode bar code here to give the new user the experience of downloading and running a qrcode script.

I'm suggesting bsh because I think the bean shell interpreter is integrated where everything else is manually installed.

Is it planned to add a pascal interpreter?

This was wrong: > To add another interpreter, press the menu button and then "Add Interpreter."

It was:

To add another interpreter, press the menu button and then press "Interpreters", then press the menu button again and then press "Add".

setupr, Thanks so much! It was killing me that I didn't have any interpreters showing up in the list to add. The instructions should be updated to reflect setupr's comment.

Thanks setupr, that information was ... vital.

Since I cannot use the GUI to install interpreters (proxy unsupported) I use ericosur's guide to manually install the interpreters (thanks!). Python is done, but I cannot find the jruby or ruby interpreter for manual download. Anyone knows?
