Ports
A port to the Inferno operating system is part of Inferno's default distribution. Inferno can run as an application on top of other operating systems, allowing Inferno's port of acme to be used on most operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux. A project called acme: stand alone complex intends to make acme run as a standalone application on the host operating system.
A working port of acme for Unix-like operating systems is included in Plan 9 from User Space, a collection of various ported programs from Plan 9. This version may be used on GNU/Linux and is included by some GNU/Linux distributions.
