I Looked at How to install a Tcl package? which doesnt exactly tell how to do that

You could:

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

Is there a command line way to download the source from https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/,am using Oracle linux server and looking for a command line way?please advise – user3682248 Aug 16 '18 at 16:31
Did you try `yum install tcllib`? (I don't know what package manager that distro uses) – glenn jackman Aug 16 '18 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` – user3682248 Aug 16 '18 at 17:57
So, tcllib is not available in your package repositories. Install it manually – glenn jackman Aug 16 '18 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. – glenn jackman Aug 16 '18 at 18:12
you mean something like `wget https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/wiki?name=Downloads` – user3682248 Aug 16 '18 at 18:13
I downloaded as `wget https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/uv/tcllib-1.19.zip` – user3682248 Aug 16 '18 at 18:46
and then tried `sudo yum install tcllib-1.19.zip`,still get the same error `No package tcllib-1.19.zip available` – user3682248 Aug 16 '18 at 18:50
You need to unzip and read the INSTALL file, where you will find instructions like I wrote in my answer. – glenn jackman Aug 16 '18 at 18:52
