RainLisp Console allows you to run the programs you write in RainLisp.
It can be used in three ways:
- In REPL mode (Read-Evaluate-Print Loop) that allows you to evaluate code incrementally.
- As a code editor with syntax highlighting, basic code completion, source code file management and code evaluation.
- As a tool with command line arguments that allows the interpreter to be used with other editors or tools.
You need to have .NET 6 or later installed.
In order to download RainLispConsole from NuGet and install it as a global tool, run the following command in a command line shell.
dotnet tool install -g RainLispConsole
If you already have it installed and you want to update it, run the following command.
