Compiling Lus

Compiling Lus is a straightforward process. You will need the following tools to compile the runtime:

• The Lus source code, which can be downloaded from its repository.
• A C compiler (gcc or clang recommended).
• The Meson build system.

After downloading and extracting the source code, navigate to the /lus directory and run the following commands to prepare, compile, and execute the runtime:

meson setup build
meson compile -C build

# On macOS and Linux.
./build/lus

# On Windows.
build\lus.exe

The binary will be placed in the build directory and is ready to be used without any further configuration. Generally, you will want to place it in a directory that is in your system’s PATH so you can invoke it from the command line anywhere:

• On macOS and Linux, you can place it in the /usr/local/bin directory.
• On Windows, you should create a new directory for Lus and follow these instructions to add it to your system’s PATH.
