Installation

To install the H-hat interpreter, it is recommended to follow the steps:

  • Install Python 3.10+.

  • Set up a virtual environment, such as anaconda or venv.

  • Install the package, via PYPI (instructions below)) or in [development mode](#development-mode).

Setting up a virtual environment

In case you don’t know how to set up a virtual environment, see the examples below (choose only one):

Using conda

  • Install anaconda.

  • Create an environment for h-hat and activate it: conda activate <name_of_the_env>

Using venv

  • Create a venv: python3.10 -m venv .venv (the venv will be located in the folder .venv inside the hhat_lang root folder)

  • Deactivate any other environment you might have active, i.e. conda: conda deactivate, until you have no environment

  • Activate our new venv through: source .venv/bin/activate

PYPI installation

After setting up your virtual environment, simply use:

python3 -m pip install hhat-lang

Development mode

In the root folder, run:

python3 -m pip install -e .

Executing Code

After proceeding on your preferred installation method, it’s time to run some code. Just type hhat in the terminal followed by the file containing your code (.hat extension).
