zig build run -- <myscript.buzz>
to run a script or zig build run
to start the REPL# install locally at ~/.local
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe install -p ~/.local
# install globally at /usr/local
sudo zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe install -p /usr/local
If you're usage if performance critical (game dev for example), you can build using -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
.
Remember to modify PATH to include the bin
directory where it is installed. For example, export PATH=PATH:/home/xxx/.local/bin
. You can then run buzz with buzz <myscript.buzz>
. Or you can simply run buzz
to start the REPL.
Additionally, install the VS Code extension to get syntax highlighting. If you don't use VS Code but your editor supports TextMate grammar files, you can use that.
