Getting Started

There are different ways to get started with Arturo.
Pick the one that suits you best and you are ready to go :)



Pre-built binaries

Arturo comes with its own pre-built binaries - for, practically, all OSes - so, technically, it doesn't require any "installation". All you have to do is download one of them and run it - that's it!

    

⇩ Download Arturo

    

➤ Wanna be as up-to-date as possible?

Head over to the Nightlies repo and simply download the latest release!

The alternative way

curl -sSL https://get.arturo-lang.io | sh

For Unix/Mac, you may also copy-paste the code above in your terminal and Arturo's most recent stable version will be automatically installed. To get the most recent (nightly) build, just use: curl -sSL https://get.arturo-lang.io/latest | sh

Manually

Other methods

Docker

Although it won't cut it, if what you need is the real-deal compiler for everyday use, if you just need a taste of it, the Docker image will absolutely do.

Just use the existing docker image:

docker run -it arturolang/arturo

or (to run a specific local script):

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/home arturolang/arturo <yourscript.art>

Homebrew

If you are on macOS, you can easily install Arturo using Homebrew as well - although I cannot guarantee it will be the latest version:

brew install arturo

➤ Trouble with the installation?

If there is any issue with the installation, just let me know (by opening an issue) and I'll try to fix it. In any case, it would be safer to try one of the pre-built binaries.*
