Getting Started¶

Catalyst is young, so the first goal is to make the path into the language obvious and easy to update as the compiler matures.

Install¶

Add the official install command here once the compiler is published.

# Placeholder until Catalyst has a published toolchain.
catalyst --version

Create a file¶

Create hello.cat:

module hello

fn main() -> Int {
  print("hello, Catalyst")
  return 0
}

Run it¶

catalyst run hello.cat

Next steps¶

• Work through the tour.
• Skim the language documentation.
• Join the community when you want to ask questions or help shape the language.
