Getting Started

These instructions will help you in setting up the project and running the game on your local machine for development and testing.

Language Installation

Ruby

MacOS

brew install ruby
ruby -v

Linux

sudo apt-get install ruby-full
ruby -v

Windows

Download the installation file from https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ Add the following lines to your c:\autoexec.bat: set PATH = "D:(ruby install directory)\bin;%PATH%"

ruby -v

Golang

MacOS

brew install golang

Linux

Download the Linux distribution from Go’s official download page and extract it into /usr/local directory.

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

Next, add the /usr/local/go/bin directory to your PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your ~/.bash_profile file -

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

Windows

Download the Windows MSI installer file from Go’s official download page. Open the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install Go in your windows system. By default, the installer installs Go in C:\Go

Setting GOPATH

Unix Systems (Linux and macOS)

For setting GOPATH in bash shells, add the following line to the ~/.bash_profile file -

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

If you use Zsh shell, then you need to add the above line to ~/.zshrc file.

Windows

Copy the path of the seng-group-16-hw2 project folder. Now set the GOPATH environment variable using the following instrustions:

1. Right click on Start → click Control Panel → Select System and Security → click on System
2. From the menu on the left, select the Advanced systems settings
3. Click the Environment Variables button at the bottom
4. Click New from the User variables section
5. Type GOPATH into the Variable name field
6. Paste the seng-group-16-hw2 folder path into the Variable value field
7. Click OK

Note that, GOPATH must be different than the path of your Go installation.

Rust

MacOS

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

rustc --version
cargo --version

Linux

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

rustc --version
cargo --version

Windows

Setup Rust with the following executable file https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/i686-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe

Once you open it, you’ll be met with the installer options. Type "Y" and let the installer do a set of downloads

Add the following to PATH in environment variables

Ensure that you have Visual C++ installed. If errors persist while running building, run the following executable file https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16

%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin

Check the installation with the following

rustc --version
cargo --version
