Pre-installation: You’ll the Rust programming language to build the compiler from source. If you’re on Windows, then you’ll need to download and install the MSVC toolchain prior to building everything.
Once you’ve installed Rust, and you can use the cargo package manager, run the following to install Sage.
Install With Cargo#
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/adam-mcdaniel/sage
Clone And Build#
You can also download the compiler from GitHub manually and build it.
$ git clone https://github.com/adam-mcdaniel/sage
$ cd sage
$ # Just build the compiler from source, don't install it:
$ cargo build --release # The `sage` exe will be in `target/release`
$ # Install it from this github clone:
$ cargo install -f --path .
Post-Install#
Once you’ve installed everything, you can get started with Sage by running the sage command! Use sage -h to see some basic help on the CLI!
