Apous is a simple tool that allows for easier authoring of Swift scripts.

Primary features:

1. Allow the breaking up of scripts into multiple files.
2. Dependency management through Carthage or CocoaPods.

How it Works

Apous works by first checking for a Cartfile or Podfile in your script's directory. If one is present, then carthage update or pod install --no-integrate will be run.

Next, all of your Swift files are combined into a single .apous.swift file that can then be run by the swift REPL.

It's really that simple.

Getting Started

First, you need to install the latest build of Apous.

1. Download the latest version of apous from "Releases".
2. Copy it to a location in your path, such as /usr/local/bin/.

Creating Your First Script

1. Create a new directory for your scripts, say mkdir demo
2. Change to that directory: cd demo
3. Create a new script file: touch demo.swift
4. Change the contents of the file to:

import Foundation

print("Welcome to Apous!")

5. Run the script: apous demo.swift

This will output:

Welcome to Apous!
