CX provides a new programming paradigm based on\nthe concept of affordances, where the user can ask the programming\nlanguage at runtime what can be done with a CX object (functions,\nexpressions, packages, etc.), and interactively or automatically choose\none of the affordances to be applied. This paradigm has the main objective\nof providing an additional security layer for decentralized,\nblockchain-based applications, but can also be used for general\npurpose programming. \n\n## Installation\n\nCX requires a Golang version of `1.15` or higher. \n\n### Binary Releases\n\nYou can find binary releases for most major systems on the [release page](https://github.com/skycoin/cx/releases). \n\n### Compiling on Linux\n\nIf you are using a `apt` compatible system, install the dependencies with\"\n\n```\nsudo apt-get update\n\nsudo apt-get install -y glade xvfb libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxi-dev libperl-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libopenal-dev libxxf86vm-dev make\n```\n\nIf you have not setup Golang on your machine, follow this [guide](https://www.tecmint.com/install-go-in-ubuntu/) to install and setup Go. \n\nDownload CX's repository using Go:\n\n```\ngo get github.com/skycoin/cx\n```\n\nGet required Go dependencies with:\n\n```\ngo get -u golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile\ngo get golang.org/x/mobile/gl \n```\n\nNavigate to CX's repository.\n\nBuild CX's binary and install by running:\n\n```\nmake build\nmake install\nmake test\n```\n\nAdd the CX binary path to your operating system's `$PATH`. For example, in Linux:\n\n```\nexport PATH=$PATH:$HOME/cx/bin\n```\n\nYou should test your installation by running:\n\n```\nmake test\n```\n\n### Compiling on MacOS\n\nIf you have not setup Golang on your machine, follow this [guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-go-and-set-up-a-local-programming-environment-on-macos) to install and setup Go. \n\nIf you do not have `git` installed, do so with:\n\n```\nbrew install git\n```\n\nDownload CX's repository using Go:\n\n```\ngo get github.com/skycoin/cx\n```\n\nNavigate to CX's repository.\n\nBuild CX's binary and install by running:\n\n```\nmake build\nmake install\n```\n\nAdd the CX binary path to your operating system's `$PATH`. For example, in Linux:\n\n```\nexport PATH=$PATH:$HOME/cx/bin\n```\n\nYou should test your installation by running:\n\n```\nmake test\n```\n\n### Compiling on Windows\n\nCompiling CX on Windows requires a recent version of Git to be installed. \n\nPacman is a utility which manages software packages.   \n\nTo install pacman, download [Mysys2](https://www.msys2.org) and run the installer.\n\nWhen the installation is complete, click ` Run MSYS2 now `.     \n\nIf MSYS2 has already been installed, run it through the start menu.\n\nYou can run a full system upgrade and install required dependencies with: \n\n```\npacman -Syu git mingw-w64-x86_64-openal base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain\n\nif [ ! -a /mingw64/lib/libOpenAL32.a ]; then ln -s /mingw64/lib/libopenal.a /mingw64/lib/libOpenAL32.a; fi\n\nif [ ! -a /mingw64/lib/libOpenAL32.dll.a ]; then ln -s /mingw64/lib/libopenal.dll.a /mingw64/lib/libOpenAL32.dll.a; fi\n```\n\nYou can compile CX by running: \n\n```\ncx-setup.bat\n```\n\nTest your installation by running:\n\n```\ncx lib/args.cx tests/main.cx ++wdir=tests ++disable-tests=issue\n```\n\n## Updating CX\n\nYou can update your CX installation by running:\n\n```\nmake install\n```\n\nOr on Windows:\n\n```\ncx-setup.bat\n```\n\n## Resources and libraries\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about CX, please refer to the [resources documentation](docs/cx-resources.md). \n\nIf you want to get started with some basic example programs and tutorials check out the [tutorials section](docs/cx-tutorials.md). \n\nThe docs also provide a high level [overview](docs/overview.md) over the language. \n\n\nGuide for  cx compiler development\n* [Compiler Development](docs/CompilerDevelopment.md)\n\nhow  to write cx wrapping libraty in Go Programming Language\n* [Wrapping golang libraries](docs/Wrappinggolanglibraries.md)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fskycoin%2Fcx","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fskycoin%2Fcx","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fskycoin%2Fcx/lists"}
