Installation

Installing the interpreter

Ryna is installed through cargo, Rust's package manager. You can see the crate here and you can install it by using the following command:

cargo install ryna-language

After this, you can use the interpreter by using the ryna command, as you will see later in the tutorial. cargo should make sure that the interpreter is properly installed.

Installing from source

If you want to take a look at the lastest (unstable) features, you can clone the repository's develop branch and use the following command to run the interpreter:

cargo run <args>

If you want to install the current version, run the compilation command:

cargo build --release

Then, copy the corresponding binaries in the /target folder to some location inside your PATH env variable.

Configuring the interpreter [Important]

It is extremely recommended that you run this command just after you install it:

ryna setup

This will ask you for a default modules location where every library will be installed by default and create a global configuration file. Also, it will download the prelude libraries for you, which are some common functionalities that you might need to use eventually, such as sets, math functions or special iterators.
