F# Quickstart

What:

A collection of shell scripts that work through all the steps of setting up various F# projects via forge.

Why:

I could not find any detailed documentation on setting up and running F# projects from the linux command line.

Prerequisites:

The scripts assume that mono, fsharp and forge are all installed and in your path.

To install Forge and have it executable via forge:

   git clone https://github.com/fsprojects/Forge.git
   cd Forge/
   sh build.sh 
   echo "mono `pwd`/temp/bin/Forge.exe \"$@\"" > $BIN_DIR/forge
   chmod a+x $BIN_DIR/forge

(Note that in general you have to execute .NET executables via mono File.exe rather than just File.exe)
