Download

The command line build runs .meow files, has a REPL, and can read and write files, which the playground can't. The current release is v0.1.0. Every release, with checksums, is on the releases page.

After downloading

The archive holds the meowscript program, the README, and the example programs. Unpack it anywhere and either run it from that folder or put it on your PATH.

• Windows may say the publisher is unknown, because the binary is not signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
• macOS blocks unsigned downloads until you clear the quarantine flag: run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./meowscript once, or right-click the file and choose Open.
• Linux needs nothing extra. The tarball keeps the executable bit.

Build from source

With a Rust toolchain (1.88 or newer), cargo can build and install it:

cargo install --git https://github.com/AlenVelocity/MeowScript --tag v0.1.0 meowscript-cli

The commands and the REPL are described at the end of the reference.
