Download and install git and Strawberry Perl 5

You need perl, git, make or something similar and a C compiler. You can get all that by running:

xcode-select --install

Run: sudo apt-get install build-essential git execstack

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

mkdir ~/rakudo && cd ~/rakudo
curl -LJO https://rakudo.org/latest/star/src
tar -xzf rakudo-star-*.tar.gz
mv rakudo-star-*/* .
rm -fr rakudo-star-*

./bin/rstar install

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

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

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 the latest Rakudo Star Bundle source .tar.gz archive
2. Extract it into a temporary location, like C:\Temp\rakudo-star\ (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-star
   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 rakudo-test && gmake rakudo-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 raku -v to test the newly-installed Rakudo works.

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

mkdir ~/rakudo && cd ~/rakudo
curl -LJO https://rakudo.org/latest/star/src
tar -xzf rakudo-star-*.tar.gz
mv rakudo-star-*/* .
rm -fr rakudo-star-*
