Download the 2nd Edition of SICP, there are many other edition, including a JavaScript edition, but the most recommended one is the original one, which adopted Scheme(a dialect of Lisp) as the programming language, download from here.

Setting-up development environment

1. Install and setup Scheme language environment on Mac OS

brew install mit-scheme
