Building mysh

To build mysh, you'll need a version of G++ that has full support for the C++11 standard. If you want to build the docs, you'll need to have nodejs installed on your machine with access to npm.

Building the shell

1. Pull the latest version of mysh: git clone https://github.com/MikeRyan52/mysh.git mysh
2. Change into the mysh directory: cd mysh
3. Run make: make
4. You'll be prompted to enter the directory where you want mysh to be built. Simply put . to select the current directory
5. Run ./mysh to launch the shell

Building the docs

1. From your mysh directory, run make docs
2. This will create a documentation web app in the ./docs folder.
3. To view the docs, simply launch ./docs/index.html in your web browser
