Stak Scheme

Install

This page explains how to install Stak Scheme for your projects. By reading this page, you will learn:

  • How to install Stak Scheme as a library in Rust projects.
  • How to install Stak Scheme as command line tools.

Libraries

To install Stak Scheme as a library in your Rust project, run the following commands in your terminal:

Terminal window
cargo add stak
cargo add --build stak-build
cargo install stak-compile

The two crates have different roles:

  • The stak crate provides virtual machines and utilities to run Scheme programs in Rust.
  • The stak-build crate builds Scheme scripts in build.rs build scripts.
  • The stak-compile crate is a Stak Scheme compiler to compile Scheme scripts into bytecodes.

Command line tools

Interpreters

To install the Scheme interpreter, run the following command in your terminal:

Terminal window
cargo install stak

Development tools

To install the other development tools of Stak Scheme, run the following command in your terminal:

Terminal window
cargo install stak-compile stak-interpret

The stak-compile command is a Scheme-to-bytecode compiler. The stak-interpret command is a bytecode interpreter that intakes bytecode files built by the stak-compile command.
