Setting up Base9 on OSX

1. Requirements

If you do not already have the OSX command line tools installed, then you may do so by running the following command in the terminal.

sudo xcode-select --install

To get started with b9 using the Ninja build system, you'll need the following:

• git
• node
• npm
• cmake
• ninja

To install the above packages, you may use homebrew and run the following command in the terminal:

brew install git node npm cmake ninja

2. Clone the repository and get the submodules

git clone --recursive https://github.com/b9org/b9.git

3. Install Esprima

cd b9 \
&& npm install esprima

4. Build b9

mkdir build \
&& cd build \
&& cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. \
&& ninja

5. Run Hello World!

Ensure you're still in the build directory and run:

./b9run/b9run ./test/hello.b9mod

You can run the full b9 test suite with:
