clox is a single-pass bytecode compiler for Lox written in C. Lox is a full-featured, efficient scripting language from Robert Nystrom's book, Crafting Interpreters.

The documentation for the Lox programming language itself can be found here.

• C

• Download the latest version of the main.out file from the releases section here: https://github.com/paudsu01/clox/releases

• Open up your terminal.

cd path/to/directory/of/main.out

• To run the compiler, run:

./main.out

• To run a .lox file, run:

./main.out file.lox

You can also download some sample .lox files from the sampleFiles/ directory and run them.

• I would suggest adding an alias from the terminal to run the main.out file.

  cd path/to/directory/of/main.out
  dir=$(pwd)
  alias clox="$(pwd)/main.out"
  

  You can now just type clox to use the compiler for the remaining terminal session.

• If you want to add a permanent alias, you should add the alias command with an absolute path for main.out to your shell config file like the ~/.bashrc file if you use bash, ~/.zshrc file if you use zsh.
