Getting Started

Before you start

You'll need an installed copy of Elide. Follow the Installation guide to obtain a copy of Elide.

Running some code

Elide can accept a raw string of code or a file to run in any supported language. Best attempts are made to detect the primary language via the source file's extension (.js will load a JS VM, .py a Python VM, etc.).

1. Let's run a snippet of JavaScript

   elide run --javascript -c "console.log('Hello!');"
   Hello! Exiting session. Have a great day! 👋

2. Now let's do the same thing, but with some Python

   elide run --python -c 'print("Hello!")'
   Hello! Exiting session. Have a great day! 👋

Polyglot terminal

Elide can run an interactive read-eval-print-loop (REPL) session for each supported language. There are several ways to kick one off, the easiest being:

Open a JavaScript console:
