Installation guide

Install code-lang

code-lang is currently distributed as source. Build it from source with Cargo in under a minute. Pre-built binaries are coming.

Build from source

Prerequisites

You need Rust (stable) installed. If you don't have it:

Install Rustrustup.rs
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Steps

1

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Walon-Foundation/code-lang.git
2

Build in release mode

cd code-lang
cargo build --release

This produces a single binary at target/release/code-lang.

3

(Optional) Add to PATH

Linux / macOS
# copy to a directory already on your PATH
sudo cp target/release/code-lang /usr/local/bin/

# or add the build output to PATH in your shell config
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/code-lang/target/release"
4

Verify the install

code-lang --version   # (if on PATH)
# or
./target/release/code-lang --version

Usage

Run the REPL

code-lang
>> let x = 10;
>> x * x;
100
>> exit

Run a script

code-lang hello.cl

Scripts must use the .cl extension.

Pre-built binaries — coming soon

We're working on distributing pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows so you won't need Rust installed. Watch the releases page or the changelog for updates.
