From binaries

  • Fetch the latest release for your platform from GitHub.

  • Extract the archive into a .gluonscript folder at the root of your HOME folder.

  • Add the location of the .gluonscript\bin to your PATH.

From source

  • Fetch the source code from GitHub by cloning the repo with:
git clone https://github.com/vascocosta/gluonscript.git
  • Compile the source code (you need the Rust toolchain):
cd gluonscript
cargo build -r

Notes

As you can see there is no installer, the interpreter is self-contained and can be executed from anywhere. However, it is strongly recommended that you add the location of the binary to your PATH variable so that you can run gluonscript from anywhere on the command line.

Running a script

  • Edit my_script.gs on your preferred IDE.

  • Run the script from the command line:

gluonscript my_script.gs
