Getting Started

This is written for Linux, but most things apply to windows as well.

Prerequisites

• .net core.
• monodevelop and/or vscode.
• git

Installation

Switch to your preferred source code directory (e.g. ~/abc) and execute the line:

git clone https://github.com/jantolenaar/kiezellisp.git

Configuration

Make a copy of ~/abc/kiezellisp/src/kiezellisp-lib/kiezellisp-init-sample.k to ~/.config/kiezellisp/kiezellisp-init.k. Customize the contents of the copy.

Build

The solution file kiezellisp.sln contains projects to build Kiezellisp for .NET Core. The solution files are compatible with Visual Studio, Monodevelop and VSCode.

Open the solution file ~/abc/kiezellisp/src/kiezellisp.sln and build the solution.

Terminal and window versions

The project kiezellisp-con creates an executable kiezellisp. The program is designed to run in a terminal, has a REPL and allows the use of winforms, gtk# or another graphical framework that has a .NET binding.

For Windows only: the folder kiezellisp-gui contains the source files to create a program without a console window and thus without a REPL.

Installation

One of the following methods may be convenient to you:

• Copy the executable to your bin folder.

• Make a symbolic link from bin folder to the executable.

• Make an executable script.

Running the REPL in a terminal

Start Kiezellisp by running your script: kiezellisp

You will be greeted by Kiezellisp's Read-Eval-Print-Loop:
