[S1r_4zdr3w(OP)]

Hi Tauists, for those who want to start playing with the Tau Language REPL, right now you need to have Linux OS. Later I will make a video and write the link for you to watch the step-by-step tutorial how to run Tau REPL in Windows using Ubuntu under Virtual Machine. In the future development, Tau REPL can also run on different OS.

To install Tau REPL
1.) git clone https://github.com/IDNI/tau-lang.git
2.) cd tau-lang
3.) ./release.sh

To run Tau REPL
1.) cd build-Release
2.) ./tau

To quit Tau REPL
1.) type q

To see your current version
1.) type v

the current version as I made this was 9ddbda6

To start playing the Tau Language Demos
1.) cd tau-lang/demos                   # go to Tau demo folder
2.) dir                                          #  see the files you want to run
3.) ./run.sh <demo_name>           # this is to run the demo
4.) type any key                           # the demo will run step by step

To update Tau REPL
1.) git pull
2.) ./release.sh

Thank you!
