You can find Alice in the Start menu on the computers in the lab, and those in the classroom. In the lab:
Separately, you may wish to install Alice on your own PC.
Windows
If you have Windows 8, Alice version 2.4.1 is recommended. If you have Windows 7, it's Alice version 2.3.5. Download them from here. They come in the form of a zip file. The zip files are fairly big (2.3.5's is 337MB) and the Alice website fairly slow. It takes over an hour. I placed a copy of the 2.3.5 zip file on a server at SMC. If you download it from there, particularly if you do it while at SMC, it will be a lot faster.
Mac
My
colleague Professor Rogler forwarded to me what one of his student's
reported:
"I discovered how to download the program correctly in class. Maybe other mac students would like this info?
