[Help wanted] Where do I put the libraries folder?

[realhackcraft]

I have to manually install SPWN. I finished all the steps except the last one(to Copy the libraries folder to $HOME/.cargo/bin/spwn). .cargo/bin/spwn is not a directory but a UNIX executable. I currently have the library folder in .cargo/bin.

The easiest way, is to copy the libraries folder into your current working directory, but this may be annoying if you have multiple folders where you develop spwn files.

Btw, the best way to run SPWN manually is to run cargo run --release test/your_file.spwn onto a clone of the repository, so you're 100% sure it will be the latest version, because if you did cargo install spwn then you are back by 3 versions iirc

When I run this, I get

Error: Syntax error ╭─[src/test.spwn:1:1] │ 1 │ $.print("Hello SPWN!") · ───────────┬──────────

What version of spwn do you have and what version of the std libraries do you have?

[SpeckyYT]

If the std libraries are giving you too many issues, you can add #[no_std] to your spwn file and it won't load the std library.

[realhackcraft]

I use 0.8 beta and the library included. I followed the instructions in README.md to install.

[realhackcraft]

cargo run --release test/your_file.spwn

If I do this, will it install spwn or run the spwn command because I want to install spwn and use the shorthand.

[zTags]

if you want to use the shorthand try looking at the generic linux install

[realhackcraft]

aren't the std libs supposed to add more features?

basically yes, everything what is in the std can easily be reproduced and all of them are just to provide some easier abstractions of quite complex systems, just like @counter

that means that the std version and your spwn version don't match.

[realhackcraft]

Ok. so how do I install spwn v0.8 on my mac?

[realhackcraft]

because the instructions said to use a .pkg but there is not .pkg in release

[SpeckyYT]

Compile from source, and then add the compiled file to the environment variables.

[realhackcraft]

Where does the executable end up in? Which folder?

[SpeckyYT]

/target/(release / debug)/spwn

[realhackcraft]

well i only have target/debug. how do I get release?

[realhackcraft]

I did cargo build -r and now I have the release folder, but it doesn't contain the spwn executable
