# The Odin Programming Language # The Odin Programming Language
The Odin programming language is fast, concise, readable, pragmatic and open sourced. It is designed with the intent of creating an alternative to C with the following goals:
* simplicity Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems, and built-in data-oriented data types. The Odin Programming Language, the C alternative for the joy of programming.
* high performance
* built for modern systems
* joy of programming

## Setup
Odin only supports x86-64/amd64 at the moment (64-bit), relies on LLVM for code generation and an external linker.
In addition, the following platform-specific steps are necessary:
- Windows
* Have Visual Studio installed (MSVC 2010 or later, for the linker)
* Open a valid command prompt:
* **Basic:** run the `x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS2017` shortcut bundled with VS 2017, or
* **Advanced:** run `vcvarsall.bat x64` from a blank `cmd` session
- MacOS
* Have LLVM explicitly installed (`brew install llvm`)
* Have XCode installed (version X.X or later, for linking)
* Make sure the LLVM binaries and the linker are added to your `$PATH` environmental variable
- GNU/Linux
* Have LLVM installed (opt/llc)
* Have Clang installed (version X.X or later, for linking)
* Make sure the LLVM binaries and the linker are added to your `$PATH` environmental variable
Then build the compiler by calling `build.bat` (Windows) or `make` (Linux/MacOS). This will automatically run the demo program if successful.
**Notes for Linux:**: The compiler currently relies on the `core` and `shared` library collection being relative to the compiler executable. Installing the compiler in the usual sense (to `/usr/local/bin` or similar) is therefore not as straight forward as you need to make sure the mentioned libraries are available. As a result, it is recommended to simply explicitly invoke the compiler with `/path/to/odin` in your preferred build system, or add `/path/to/odin` to `$PATH`.
Please read the [Getting Started Guide](https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/wiki#getting-started-with-odin) for more information.
## Requirements to build and run
Please read the [Getting Started Guide](https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/wiki#getting-started-with-odin).
- Windows
* x86-64/amd64
* MSVC 2010 installed (C++11 support)
* Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
* run `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
- MacOS
* x86-64/amd64
* LLVM explicitly installed (`brew install llvm`)
* XCode installed (for the linker)
- GNU/Linux
* x86-64/amd64
* Build tools (ld)
* LLVM installed
* Clang installed (temporary - this is Calling the linker for now)
- FreeBSD
* x86-64/amd64
* Build tools (ld)
* LLVM installed
* Clang installed (temporary - this is Calling the linker for now)
Other platforms may be supported but are experimental for the time being.
