Getting started

Installing sNCL

sNCL relies on Lua and LuaRocks, which can be installed from the standard repositories of most distros. LuaRocks is a plugin manager for Lua.

For example, on Ubuntu Linux and Arch Linux:

sudo apt-get install lua luarocks
sudo pacman -S lua luarocks

After LuaRocks and Lua are installed, sNCL can be installed using LuaRocks. This command will install sncl and all the Lua plugins it requires.

sudo luarocks install sncl

How to install cloning the github repo

git clone https://github.com/TeleMidia-MA/sncl
cd sncl
sudo luarocks make

How to install on Windows and MacOS?

Add some instructions on how to run an sncl program.

cd sncl/spec
sncl example.sncl

It will generate a file called example.ncl, to specify a different file, you can use

sncl example.sncl -o other-file.ncl
