Quick Start Guide
1. Installation
If you'd prefer to compile the program yourself, you can follow the steps provided in the repository's README.
To verify the installation, run the following command:
>> karina --version
2. Create a new Project
You can use the karina CLI to create a new project with the following command:
>> karina new example
Your project folder should now look like this:
example/
└── src/
└── main.krna
The main.krna file should contain the following code:
fn main(args: [string]) {
println("Hello, World!")
}
You can change the current directory into the new project folder:
>> cd example
Then, you can run the program with the following command:
>> karina run
Hello, World!
