Download

Download a release bundle from the GitHub release page: https://github.com/eco-lang/eco-compiler/releases

For version 0.1.0, release bundles are only available for x86 Linux. This will be improved in the very near future with the 0.2.0 release, which will have release bundles for Windows and Mac.

Installation

On Debian based systems you can install the .deb release. This will install eco to /usr/local/bin:

sudo dpkg --install eco_0.1.0-alpha_amd64.deb

On other systems or if you want a local install, you can unpack the .zip or .tar.gz relase. For example you could unpack it in your home directory:

mkdir eco
cd eco
unzip eco-0.1.0-alpha-x86_64-linux-musl.zip

Then add the ~/eco/bin directory to your PATH.

Run an example

In the distribution there is a /share/eco/examples folder. Either cd to that folder or if you installed system wide with the .deb package, you could copy that folder to your home dir. Then build and run the hello world example:

cp -R /usr/local/share/eco/examples .
cd examples/hello
eco make src/Hello.elm --output=hello

Run it:

./hello
