Gwion is a programming language, aimed at making music

strongly inspired by chuck, but adding a bunch high-level features:
templating, first-class functions and more.

It aims to be simple, small, fast, extendable and embeddable.

You might just want the minimum to start with, try

git clone https://github.com/fennecdjay/Gwion
cd Gwion
git submodule update --init util ast
make

You can get a list of config files to tweak with

find . -name "config.mk"

Please rebuild to take your change into account.

make -C util clean
make -C ast  clean
make clean
make

Besides develloper options, you migth want to check USE_DOUBLE, in util/config.mk, which set the floating point size (float or double).

This assumes you have successfully compiled gwion. To build follow these steps . To check, if the build was successfully run

./gwion

if this gives out some error, there were problems with your compilation. Try building again, and open a issue if the problem persists. We would love to help you out.
If you see no errors, Congratulations!! You have successfully compiled gwion, and can move ahead.

Create a new file "hello_world.gw" in the same directory.(You are free to use any command)

touch hello_world.gw

Open this file using your favourite text editor

vim hello_world.gw

Add the following lines to print "Hello World" (Note the semicolon at the end)

<<< "Hello World" >>>;

Save and exit the file(:wq in vim). Use the following command to run your first gwion program

./gwion hello_world.gw

Congratulations!! You ran your first gwion program.

It's a good idea to install Gwion now that you have tried it out. Use the following command to install it

sudo make install
