What is the best and easiest to install binary distribution?

I was looking into this for v9 and gave up on finding a binary which was:

- easily found

- agreed upon as the one to use

- available for and easy to install on all three platforms

Should I look again?

For jimtcl (the production-ready minimalistic tcl implementation which antires started (with full closures & gc'able lambdas) - probably an outgrowth of picol), you can get static "(some) batteries included" binaries at:

https://github.com/dbohdan/jimsh-static

For full tcl with the kitchen sink, bathtub & shower included, for android (hence the name) & regular Linux:
