First steps using Rascal
You can start using Rascal by following these steps:
-
Download and Install Rascal by carefully following the instructions at the Rascal Website.
| Please respect the recommended versions of Java (JDK) and Eclipse (Eclipse for RCP Developers). In case of installation problems you can consult the trouble shooting page or StackOverflow. |
-
Start Rascal. The Rascal system comes in two flavours: a command line version and a version integrated in Eclipse.
At the command line the Rascal system can be invoked by typing the command rascal. Next, the Rascal prompt rascal> appears and you can start typing commands (declarations, statements, expressions). To simplify interactive use, semicolons (;) that end commands may be omitted at the top level.
