If you are running a Windows NT system, WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is recommended. Although it should work in NT systems, it is not tested.
However, if you are using MacOS or (any) Linux (distro), you can continue the installation process.
It is recommended to install the Rust programming language via (Rustup)
- Rust programming language

Currently, there are no stable releases of the compiler, cloning the repository directly will give you the in-development or unstable version. Proceed if you are willing to face consequences.
- Clone the repository via any option in the "<> Code" tab, which can be found on the top of the GitHub repository's page.
- Run the following command in the
./Hexagn/directory (The cloned repository, replace if you cloned under a different name).
$ cargo build --release; cargo install --path .- The compiler should be compiled as an executable inside the
./target/release/directory and installed to your Cargo binaries. - You should now be able to use the command
hexagnanywhere, as long it is within the same shell.
* <> Denotes required, [] Denotes optional.
