RetroForth/ilo : Shell Installer / Updater / Launcher
================================================================
This is a small shell script that can setup a local install of
the RetroForth/ilo system. It also handles launching this, and
can update the image and blocks.
Requirements:
- curl
- gunzip
- unix-like host
Obtain:
curl https://ilo.retroforth.org/retro-ilo.sh -o retro-ilo
chmod +x retro-ilo
Install the VM, image, and blocks(*):
./retro-ilo install
Run:
./retro-ilo
Update the image and blocks:
./retro-ilo update
Remove:
./retro-ilo uninstall
Additional options:
./retro-ilo help
================================================================
(*) The default installation uses precompiled binaries for the
ilo vm. If you prefer to build your own, you can use C or
Nim. Run one of these instead:
./retro-ilo install:c
./retro-ilo install:nim
You will need either `nim` or `cc` in your path, along with the
standard headers and development libraries in your system.
You may also need to do this if a precompiled binary is not
available for your system.
The precompiled binaries only use the following system calls or
library functions:
open
close
read
write
lseek
exit
The only files they use are ilo.blocks and ilo.rom in the
current working directory.
================================================================
The installed vm, image, and blocks will be placed in
~/.retro-ilo
