# 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.
