Installation

Windows

Download and run the installer: mosml-setup-windows-x86_64.exe

The installer will:

• Install Moscow ML to C:\Program Files\mosml (or custom location)
• Add Moscow ML to your system PATH
• Create Start Menu shortcuts
• Optionally create desktop shortcuts

Alternatively, extract the portable ZIP archive: mosml-windows-x86_64.zip

Linux / macOS

# Extract the archive
tar -xzf mosml-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz

# Copy to system (requires root)
sudo cp -r usr/local/* /usr/local/

# Or install to custom location
tar -xzf mosml-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz -C $HOME/.local --strip-components=2
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Docker Support

You can run Moscow ML directly using Docker, avoiding local installation entirely. A pre-built image is available on the GitHub Container Registry.

Pull the image:

docker pull ghcr.io/francesco146/mosml:2.10.5

Run the interactive REPL:

docker run -it ghcr.io/francesco146/mosml:2.10.5

Execute a local script:
To compile or run a local .sml file (e.g., script.sml in your current directory), mount your folder as a volume:

docker run -it -v "$PWD":/app -w /app ghcr.io/francesco146/mosml:2.10.5 mosml script.sml

rlwrap Integration

The mosml interactive REPL now automatically uses rlwrap when available, providing:

• Command history (saved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/mosml/history or $HOME/.local/share/mosml/history, if XDG_DATA_HOME is not set)
• Line editing with arrow keys
• Tab completion support

To disable rlwrap, set the DISABLE_RLWRAP=1 environment variable before running mosml.
