It was necessary to install the ocaml-base-compiler to build the interpreter

I'm not sure I follow, can you elaborate? And how is removing all installation instructions helping?

Hi! Something must have gone wrong with GitHubDesktop. Just fixed it now :)

Thanks, but I'm still a bit confused. Isn't ocaml-base-compiler always installed, at least when following the linked instructions? Can an OCaml installation even work without it? What method did you use that failed?

zapashcanon commented 1 year ago

The only thing I can think of is installing opam without OCaml on e.g. Debian with the following apt install --no-install-recommends opam. I'm not sure we should mention ocaml-base-compiler. We should simply link to the install page from OCaml.
