Getting Started

This guide takes you from install to a running program in a few minutes. Every command and example here was checked against the shipped RUDRA 1.1.0 toolchain.

1. Install the toolchain

Download the Linux x86_64 archive from Downloads, verify its checksum, then install it:

tar -xzf rudra-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd rudra-linux-x86_64 && ./install.sh
rudra version

You should see RUDRA 1.1.0.

2. Your first program

Create a file named hello.rux:

fn main() {
    print("Hello, RUDRA!");
}

3. Compile and run

Use the compiler directly:

rudrac hello.rux --run

Or create a project with the driver:

rudra new myapp
cd myapp
rudra run

A new project contains a Rux.toml and a src/main.rux entry point.
