Too lazy to download languages then use this awesome CLI tool to run over 35 languages supporting command line arguments and standard input. Thanks to piston API by Engineer-man.

Piston CLI

A cli tool which uses the piston api, developed by Engineerman and his team to compile over 35 languages instantly. Accepts files, paste.pythondiscord.com links and input.

Installation

With pip

# Installing the package
pip install piston-cli -U
# Help Command

With Nix/NixOS

piston-cli is available in nixpkgs through the unstable channels.

You can install it with nix-env, or in a declarative way with configuration.nix or similar.

Flake support

piston-cli is a flake, that means you can easily add it to your flake based configuration: Disclaimer: this also means you're using the development version, you could encounter bugs. If you want to use the stable version, install it from nixpkgs.

{
	inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
	inputs.piston-cli.url = "github:piston-cli/piston-cli";

	outputs = { nixpkgs, piston-cli }:
	let
		pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; overlays = [ piston-cli.overlay ]; };
	in
	 {
		 # use pkgs.piston-cli-unstable here
	 };
}
