Running Your First Script
With Ry installed, you're ready to write and run your first program. The "Hello World" is a classic tradition, so let's start there.
Create a File
Open your favorite text editor and create a new file named
hello.ry.
Write the Code
Enter the following code into the file. This program uses the built-in
out() function to print a line of text to the console.
# hello.ry
out("Hello, World!")
Run from the Terminal
Go to the directory where you saved hello.ry and run it
using the ry interpreter.
$ ry hello.ry
Output
You should see the following output in your terminal:
Hello, World!
Congratulations!
You've successfully executed your first Ry script. You are now ready to dive into the basics of the language.
