Answer 1

You could:

• download the source from https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/

• 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
