Installation confusion
oraqlle opened this issue · comments
I'm a little confused at how to get BQN up and running on Linux using CBQN, I don't know what I'm reading wrong or if there is something I'm missing. How am I supposed to get this up and running. I'm on WSL Ubuntu if that is any help. I'm am really interesting in this language and notational/array based syntax and semantics as a whole and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just cloning the CBQN repository and running make in that directory should build a working executable called BQN. If that doesn't work, can I get a little more detail about what you've tried?
I cloned the repo and compiled using make but I tried running the test
./BQN mlochbaum/BQN/test/this.bqn
and I got the following output
Error: Couldn't read file "mlochbaum/BQN/test/this.bqn".
I don't know if I've installed something wrong or if the file is remote or something but I am unsure what to do next.
mlochbaum/BQN just refers to this repository so you need to clone it and use the correct path (if ls works but ./BQN doesn't, then I'd be quite surprised). But since you've built you should already have a working system, which you can test out with say ./BQN --help and ./BQN -p "↕5". The tests only check that it works.
