Install¶
Install via NPM¶
To install the Clio programming language, you’ll need Node.js and NPM. After installing Node and NPM, you can install Clio by running:
npm i -g clio
Check your installation by running clio in your local shell. You’re
good to go!
Note
Your Node version needs to be at least v14.14.0.
Install via Arch User Repository¶
If you are using an Arch-based linux distribution, you might consider
installing Clio via the Arch User Repository (AUR). You can get more
information about the clio-lang package here:
Bleeding Edge Installation¶
Clio is in active development and installation is only recommended for testing, early adopting and development so it is recommended to install from git before we reach a stable version one release.
To install from git, you’ll need Node.js, NPM and git. You need to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/clio-lang/clio
Then cd to the project directory:
cd clio
Now you need to install dependencies, to do that run:
npm install
Now you need to link the clio executable:
npm link
If you are planning to make changes to the local clio installation, you
will need to specify its location in the CLIOPATH environment
variable. This ensures, that local clio packages will be used when
building a project.
Setting CLIOPATH on MacOS/Linux¶
Add this line to your .bashrc file:
export CLIOPATH=<path-to-clio-installation>
Setting CLIOPATH on Windows¶
