I am currently using tcllibs 1.16 in my applications at the work. I saw that there is 1.19 available. It, however, needs to be compiled - probably it is then plugged into the core installation of the Tcl in the system. I do not know how I managed it last time, but I have the 1.16 as a folder containing pkgIndex.tcl and subfolders. This way I can copy it with my program and give the directory in auto_path and use package require for getting the stuff.

I do not remember anymore how I got 1.16 in separate package format but I would like to update to 1.19. I do not want to mess with the installation as I do not have admin rights in my computers...

Most of tcllib is pure Tcl. Have you tried adding the modules directory of the source to the auto_path?

Tcllib is pure Tcl, although it does include optional critcl
'accelerators' for some modules if one wishes for speed improvements.

Just download a distribution bundle of version 1.19, unpack it, put it
somewhere, and point auto_path at the top level directory, and you've
"installed" Tcllib 1.19.
