+## Build guide for pocketpy
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+First, you need to install these tools:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+1. Python(>= 3.8), I am sure you already have it.
|
|
|
|
|
+2. A C11 compiler, such as GCC, Clang or MSVC. If you are on Linux, `gcc` is already installed. If you are on Windows, you can install Visual Studio with C/C++ development tools.
|
|
|
|
|
+3. CMake(>= 3.10), a cross-platform build tool. You can use `pip install cmake` to install it.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Then, clone pocketpy sources from github and try to build:
|
|
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
|
|
+git clone https://github.com/pocketpy/pocketpy
|
|
|
|
|
+cd pocketpy
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+python cmake_build.py
|
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+If everything goes well, you will get a `main` executable (`main.exe` on Windows) in the root directory of pocketpy.
|
|
|
|
|
+Simply run it and you will enter pocketpy's REPL.
