Using Iro's CLI verison

[didiermun]

I saw that you have CLI version releases for different platforms. However, people without any of the mentioned OSs have to use .NET. I wanted to go through the installation of the CLI version using .NET but didn't find any. So, I was seeking for help. What should I do to install the CLI after having .NET 6? I would use this CLI to build a VSCode extension, so if there any other altenative without the CLI, let me know too.

Thank you, I will appreciate your help!

Hi @didiermun,

Sorry for the late response, hopefully I can answer your question. If you are not on either Linux (arm64, musl, x64), MacOS (x64) or Windows (x64), I have not published a build for iro in the Release section on Github. You can however build it yourself for other supported .NET targets after obtaining .NET.

To build iro, a summary is provided in the README, however I will lay out the basic steps here too:

• Download a copy of ANTLR v4.7.2's command line tool (found here) and ensure it is visible as antlr4 on PATH.
• Clone this repository somewhere with git clone git@github.com:c272/iro4cli.git.
• Run dotnet build in the root of the repository (you might have to do this twice!).

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other issues.
