Black compiler / interpreter should now be accessible as a build aftifact at ./target/release/black

MacOS instructions are the same as linux.

I am not actively using windows. I don’t know if black compiles and or runs on this system.
Either way instalation steps should be similar to unix, clone the source code, compile the code using cargo and use the resulting binary.

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN: Good luck.

Get a prebuilt binary from Github Actions

TODO

Install QBE backend

TODO

Test if the compiler / interpreter is working

While beeing in the target/release directory (or any other containing the black binary) execute:

$ ./black -V

You should see version information printed to the screen, similar to this:

Black version: v0.0.1

Now you can continue learning basics of the black lang, go to the Getting Started page for next steps.
