Install for Linux, macOS & WSL

1. Download the Cocolang Release for your platform

You can download your platform's appropriate release tar.gz file from the releases pages. Alternatively, you can install it wget or curl using the link for the appropriate release.

2. Remove any existing installation of Coco

The following command removes any previously existing version of Cocolang from the ~/.coco/bin directory, which is the default install directory. If you had previously installed it at an alternate location, use the appropriate path to remove the installation

rm -rf ~/.coco/bin

3. Unarchive the download

Run the following command to create the ~/.coco/bin and untar the .tar.gz file into it. This must be done from the directory in which the archive exists.

 mkdir -p ~/.coco/bin && tar -C ~/.coco/bin -xzf coco-0.2.0-macos-arm64.tar.gz

4. Set the environment PATH

Add the following line to one of ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc or other similar shell source files to add the installation path to the shell.

export PATH=$PATH:~/.coco/bin

The changes made to the PATH of the shell may not be applied until the shell is restarted. To apply the changes immediately, run the following command

source ~/.zshrc

5. Verify the installation

Run the following command to verify that Cocolang has been installed on your system

coco version

Similarly, run the following command to verify the LogicLab install. LogicLab also requires the initialisation of a lab environment to start the lab REPL. Refer to the LogicLab Documentation
