How do I run this thing? #13

Closed theronic closed 6 years ago

OMG this is great how do I run it?

mikera commented 6 years ago

A few options:

You can use it directly as a library from Java. See the tests for many examples.
You can (experimental) use it via a Clojure nREPL using https://github.com/mikera/enchant
You can launch a REPL from the command line with magic repl (tested only on Windows, but should be trivial to modify magic.bat for Unix

Note that Magic is still very experimental! Any feedback / PRs much appreciated!

What command should I run to compile magic? (I'm not a Java guy, but I think javac is involved. Am running OSX.)

IntelliJ picked up some things, but I don't see jar output in target folder.

There's probably an easy way to compile using IntelliJ but I'm not too familar with that. By default Magic is built using Maven, you can build the combined jar file with:

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install

This will give you a compiled jar file in the target directory which you can then run with:

java -jar target/magic.jar

If you want a REPL, use:

java -jar target/magic.jar repl
