Basp Programming Language

Setup Locally (Directly Run)

If you don't want to build it, run it direct from the source code

1. Download Node.js (https://nodejs.org/)
2. Download Basp repo (https://github.com/Astro-gram/Basp)
3. Go into that folder
4. open the config file: src/config.js
5. Check the PRODUCTION variable and make sure it is false
6. Change NON_PRODUCTION_FILE_LOCATION to the location of your .basp file
7. Go back to the root of the repo and run:

npm run go

If everything worked, you should get the results of your code in your terminal.

Setup Locally (Build)

(This setup is for Windows only)

1. Download Node.js (https://nodejs.org/)
2. Install pkg package to build executable

npm install -g pkg

3. Download Basp repo (https://github.com/Astro-gram/Basp)
4. Go into that folder
5. open the config file: src/config.js
6. Check the PRODUCTION variable and make sure it is true
7. Go back to the root of the repo and run:

npm run build

8. If everything was successful, there should be a file named "main.exe" under a folder named "exe"

Basp
└───exe
    └───main.exe

9. Run Command Prompt as administrator
10. Run these commands to associate .basp files with the executable

assoc .basp=BaspScript
ftype BaspScript=PathToMain.exe %1 %*

(Replace "PathToMain.exe" with the path to the main.exe file)

11. Create a file with the extension of .basp

Example File:

Basp
└───code
    └───example.basp

12. Write some code in your file and open it

If everything worked, you should get a node.js window popup giving you the results of your code.
