Get started here → --- ## Build Instructions ```bash mkdir build && cd build cmake .. cmake --build . ``` To create an installable package for your OS: ```bash make package # Packages are output to build/packages/ ``` Installing the package (recommended — tracked by your package manager): ```bash sudo apt install ./packages/ .deb # Debian/Ubuntu ``` Or install directly without package tracking: ```bash sudo make install # Note: uninstallation requires manual removal ``` --- ## Running SwaziLang After building, run the executable from the `build` directory: ```bash ./swazi ``` Or install and add to your system `PATH` to run from anywhere. --- ## Dependencies Most dependencies are managed automatically by CMake via `FetchContent` or bundled with the build. You do **not** need Conan to build or use SwaziLang. > **Contributors only:** If you prefer using Conan for third-party dependency management during development, install it with: > ```bash > pip install conan > conan --version # verify installation > > mkdir build && cd build > conan install .. --build=missing --output-folder=. > ``` --- ## Keywords | Keyword | Meaning / Usage | |---|---| | `data` | Declare a variable | | `thabiti` | Declare a constant or a `const` getter method | | `kazi` | Define a function | | `tabia` | Define a method inside an object or class | | `rudisha` | Return a value from a function or method | | `chapisha` | Print with newline | | `andika` | Print without newline | | `kweli` | Boolean literal: `true` | | `sikweli` | Boolean literal: `false` | | `kama` | `if` statement / `as` alias in imports | | `vinginevyo` / `sivyo` | `else` / `else if` branch | | `kwa` | `for` loop | | `wakati` | `while` loop | | `fanya` | `do-while` loop | | `sawa` | Equality operator (`==`) | | `sisawa` | Inequality operator (`!=`) | …
