# Extempore ![Build & test](https://github.com/digego/extempore/workflows/Build%20&%20run%20tests/badge.svg?branch=master) ![Release](https://github.com/digego/extempore/workflows/Release/badge.svg)

A programming environment for cyberphysical programming (Linux/macOS/Windows).

**Note**: Extempore is not yet compatible with Apple Silicon.

## Getting started

### The easy way

Download [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/), install the Extempore
extension and then use the _Extempore: Download binary_ command to do the rest.

**Note**: Extempore's binary releases are [built
automatically](https://github.com/digego/extempore/actions?query=workflow%3ARelease)
for Windows, macOS and Linux (Linux release are built on Ubuntu, on other
distros YMMV).

For more details, head to the [Quickstart
page](https://extemporelang.github.io/docs/overview/quickstart/) in Extempore's
online docs.

### The _slightly_ harder way (for those who don't want to use VSCode)

Download the latest [binary
release](https://github.com/digego/extempore/releases) for your platform, unzip
it and run `extempore` (`extempore.exe` on Windows) from inside the `extempore`
folder.

Then, [set up your text editor of
choice](https://extemporelang.github.io/docs/guides/editor-support/) and away
you go.

### Build from source

**For more information**, check out [BUILDING.md](./BUILDING.md).

Extempore's CMake build process downloads and build all the dependencies you
need (including LLVM). So, if you've got a C++ compiler, git and CMake, here are
some one-liner build commands:

On **Linux/macOS**:

git clone https://github.com/digego/extempore && mkdir extempore/build && cd extempore/build && cmake -DASSETS=ON .. && make && sudo make install

On **Windows** (if you're using VS2019---adjust as necessary for your VS
version):

git clone https://github.com/digego/extempore && mkdir extempore/build && cd extempore/build && cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -DASSETS=ON .. && cmake --build . --target INSTALL --config Release

_Note:_ in the above one-liners the `ASSETS` build-time option (boolean, default
`OFF`) is set to `ON`. This will download the Extempore binary assets---required
for many of the examples, but adds a ~300MB download to build process. If you'd
rather not do that, and are happy with some of the examples not working, then
set `-DASSETS=OFF` instead.
