Setup

To start "frying" your fat code, you'll need an interpreter for the FatScript programming language.

fry, The FatScript Interpreter

fry is a free interpreter and runtime environment for FatScript. You can install it on your machine using the following instructions.

Installation

fry is designed for GNU/Linux, but it might also work on other operating systems.

For Arch-based distributions, install via fatscript-fry AUR package.

For other distributions, try the auto-install script:

curl -sSL https://gitlab.com/fatscript/fry/raw/main/get_fry.sh -o get_fry.sh;
bash get_fry.sh || sudo bash get_fry.sh

Or, to install fry manually:

• Clone the repository:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/fatscript/fry.git

• Then, run the installation script:

cd fry
./install.sh

the manual installation may copy the fry binary to the $HOME/.local/bin folder, alternatively use sudo to install it to /usr/local/bin/

• Verify that fry is installed by running:

fry --version

Dependencies

If the installation fails, you may be missing some dependencies. fry requires git, gcc and libcurl to build. For example, to install these dependencies on Debian/Ubuntu, run:

apt update
apt install git gcc libcurl4-openssl-dev

Back-end for text input

linenoise is a lightweight dependency and an alternative to readline, maintained as a submodule. If it was not included during the initial git clone operation, you can rectify this with the following commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update

If you prefer to link against readline, just ensure it is installed by running:

apt install libreadline-dev

OS Support

fry is primarily designed for GNU/Linux, but it's also accessible on other operating systems:

Android

If you're on Android, you can install fry via Termux. Just install the required dependencies like so:

pkg install git clang

Then you can follow the standard installation instructions for fry.

ChromeOS

If you're using ChromeOS, you can enable Linux support by following the instructions here.

MacOS

If you're using MacOS, you'll need to have Command Line Tools installed.

iOS

If you're using iOS, you may use fry via iSH. First, install the required dependencies:

apk add bash gcc libc-dev curl-dev

Then, according to this thread, configure git to work properly, like so:

wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/main/x86/git-2.24.4-r0.apk
apk add ./git-2.24.4-r0.apk
git config --global pack.threads "1"

Windows

If you're using Windows, you can use fry via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Docker image

fry is also available as a docker image:

docker run --rm -it fatscript/fry

To execute a FatScript file with docker, use the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v ~/project:/app fatscript/fry prog.fat

replace ~/project with the path to your FatScript file
