Run: sudo apt-get install build-essential git libssl-dev

Run:

sudo yum install git
sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

On Fedora, also run: sudo yum install perl-ExtUtils-Command

On CentOS 7, also run: sudo yum install perl-autodie

Download and install git and Strawberry Perl 5

The exact steps required may differ, depending on your operating system:

mkdir ~/rakudo && cd $_
curl -LJO https://rakudo.org/latest/rakudo/source
tar -xvzf rakudo-*.tar.gz
cd rakudo-*

perl Configure.pl --backend=moar --gen-moar
make

# If you wish, you can run the tests
# Depending on your machine, they could take over half an hour to run
make test
make spectest

make install

echo "export PATH=$(pwd)/install/bin/:$(pwd)/install/share/perl6/site/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

You'll likely want to also install zef module manager:

cd /tmp/ &&
git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git &&
cd zef &&
perl6 -Ilib bin/zef install .

These instructions are for a compiler tool kit included with Strawberry Perl 5. Other compilers may have different commands (e.g. nmake instead of gmake)

1. Download latest Rakudo Compiler-Only source .tar.gz archive
2. Extract it into a temporary location, like C:\Temp\rakudo\ (7-zip can open .tar.gz files)
3. Press Win+R, then type cmd and press enter, to open the command prompt.
4. Run these commands to install into C:\rakudo\ directory:

   C:
   mkdir C:\rakudo
   cd C:\Temp\rakudo
   perl Configure.pl --backend=moar --gen-moar --prefix=C:\rakudo
   gmake
   

5. (optional) Run the test suite, which can take over half an hour to complete:
   gmake test && gmake spectest
6. Run: gmake install
7. Add to your PATH env var paths C:\rakudo\bin\ and C:\rakudo\share\perl6\site\bin
8. Close the command prompt and open a new one. Type perl6 -v to test the newly-installed Rakudo works.

You'll likely want to also install zef module manager. In a newly-opened command prompt, run these commands:

C:
cd C:\Temp
git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git
cd zef
perl6 -Ilib bin/zef install .
