Introduction

Shell++ is a programming language that aims bring features from modern languages, as facility to manipulate data structures, object oriented programming, functional programming and others, to shell script.

Building

Requirements:

A compiler that supports C++ 14 (gcc or clang)
Boost
Readline
CMake
Linux

Compiling

Ubuntu

First you need intall the requirements to build Shell++

# apt-get install -y build-essential
# apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libreadline6 libreadline6-dev git cmake

With the requirements installed, make a clone of the repository

$ git clone git@github.com:alexst07/shell-plus-plus.git

After the clone, change to directory of the project

$ cd shell-plus-plus

To compile the project, you need create a directory when the cmake files will be generated, and so, build the project

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Now you can already use the Shell++, the binary is generated at shell/ directory. To use Shell++ to execute a script, first, create an example script called my.shpp.

echo my first script in shell++

In the build path, call the binary to execute your script

$ ./shell/shpp my.shpp

You should see the output:

my first script in shell++

If you saw this output your build is working, if you want install Shell++.

$ sudo make install
