Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the Wind Language Quick Start Guide! This page will walk you through the essential steps to get up and running with a "Hello World" in Wind in no time.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A Linux or macOS system.
  • Basic knowledge of programming concepts.
  • A terminal and a text editor.
  • Wind installed on your system.

Step 1: Write Your First Program

Once Wind is installed, create your first Wind program. Open your favorite text editor and write the following:

@include "#libc.wi"

func main(): int {
    puts("Hello, Wind!");
    return 0;
}

Save the file as hello.w.

Step 2: Compile Your Program

In the terminal, navigate to the folder where you saved your program and compile it:

windc hello.wind -o hello

This will generate an executable file called hello in the same directory.

Step 3: Run Your Program

To run your program, type:

./hello

You should see:

Hello, Wind!

Congratulations! You’ve just written and executed your first Wind program!
