1. Extract the files of the distribution.

2. Copy the waxeye directory to where you wish to install it.

3. Add the bin/waxeye binary to your search path. e.g. If you have ~/bin in your PATH and installed waxeye to /usr/local/waxeye then you might do the following.

   ln -s /usr/local/waxeye/bin/waxeye ~/bin/

1. Extract the files of the distribution.

2. Copy the waxeye directory to where you wish to install it.

Use the waxeye command.

Use a command prompt to run waxeye.exe. Note: If using the interpreter under Windows, you will need to press Ctrl-z and then 'Enter' after the input you want to interpret.

1. Install Racket

2. Build Waxeye

   • Unix and OSX

     ./build/unix

   • Windows

     • If your Racket installation isn't C:\Program Files\Racket, then you will need to modify build\exe.bat to use the correct path.

     • Run the build\exe.bat script. The waxeye.exe executable will be saved to the directory you run the script from.

First, install all packages necessary for running the tests. On Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get install racket nodejs ant checkstyle testng

To then run all the tests, run:

test/bin/test-all

To run individual language tests, run the respective script, e.g. for JavaScript:

test/bin/test-javascript
