Getting Started
Download Stacko
To begin using Stacko you'll first need to clone it from the official repository.
Enter the newly created Stacko directory and run the interpreter using Python3.
Install the Interpreter
To use the Stacko interpreter from anywhere in your system you'll first need to install it locally.
To begin you'll first need to make the Stacko interpreter executable. To do this, run the following command from within the Stacko directory.
Next add a link to the interpreter to your local bin directory.
Now, try running the Stacko interpreter from anywhere in your system using the following command.
You may need to add /usr/local/bin/ to your path if it is not already included there. This can be done temporarily
with the following command.
Using this method your local bin directory will remain in your path until you close your current bash session.
To make this change permanent simply add the previous command to your .bashrc with the following command.
Run a Script
Let's create and run a simple "Hello, world!" program using Stacko!
The begin, create a new file with either the .stko or the .stacko file extension. So long as the file uses either
of the previously listed file extensions a Stacko script can be given any name. For this example we'll name our file
HelloWorld.stacko.
Open your newly created file and enter the following code.
You can run this script using the following command.
Congratulations, you've just successfully written and ran your first Stacko script!
