Getting started
Installation
To start using the Zinc framework, do the following:
- Download the latest release for your OS and architecture.
- Add the folder with the binaries to
PATH
. - Use the binaries via your favorite terminal.
The minimal Zinc framework consists of the three tools:
zargo
package managerznc
Zinc compilerzvm
Zinc virtual machine
zargo
can use the compiler and virtual machine through as subprocesses,
so you will only need zargo
to work with your projects.
For more information on zargo
, check out this chapter.
The Visual Studio Code extension
There is a syntax highlighting extension for Zinc called Zinc Syntax Highligthing
.
The IDE should recommend installing it once you have opened a Zinc file!
