# Uiua
Uiua (pronounced *"wee-wuh"*) is a stack-based array programming language.
Documentation, examples, and an online interpreter can be found at [uiua.org](https://uiua.org).
You can also check out the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/3r9nrfYhCc).
You can support Uiua's development via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/uiua-lang).
## Installation
You can try the language without installing anything on [the website](https://uiua.org).
If you want to install the interpreter locally there are 2 options:
- If your OS is supported, you can simply download the [latest release](https://github.com/uiua-lang/uiua/releases).
- If not, you will need to install via Cargo.
This requires [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) (>=1.75) to be installed.
You can install with:
```
cargo install uiua
```
On Linux, you may need to install some dependencies first:
```
apt install libx11-dev
```
The following optional features are available but not enabled by default (enabled by passing `--features `):
- `audio`: Enables audio system functions (may require `libasound2-dev libudev-dev pkg-config` on Linux)
- `webcam`: Enables webcam system functions (may require `libjpeg-dev` on Linux)
- If you want the most recent development version of Uiua, you can install from the git repository.
```
cargo install --git https://github.com/uiua-lang/uiua uiua
```
- If you use Nix or NixOS, you can clone this repo and do following:
```
nix develop # to drop into a shell prompt with all the dependencies
cargo check # to make sure you can compile/build latest version
cargo build # to build latest debug version of uiua
cargo run repl # to get uiua repl
```
`nix develop` is not necessary if you have direnv active, in that case `direnv allow` will activate the flake devshell.
*Note:* If you encounter errors such as rustc or any other package
version mismatch, it is most likely that flake.lock file needs to be
updated to pull in updated dependencies for nix shell.
## Language and Font Support
The Uiua native interpreter has a built-in language server that can be used by editor extensions.
You can find a list of editor extensions [here](https://uiua.org/docs/install#editor-support).
You can find a list of fonts that support Uiua's characters [here](https://uiua.org/docs/install#fonts).
