Getting Started with EasyLang

Welcome to EasyLang!
This guide will help you install, run, and execute your first EasyLang program.

EasyLang is a clean, English-like scripting language designed to help beginners understand programming concepts without confusing syntax.

Installation

1. Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Windows / macOS / Linux
  • Terminal or Command Prompt access

Note: Easylang is built on top of Python, so ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from python.org. Also EasyLang is currently available only for Windows for now, but support for macOS and Linux is coming soon!

Step 1: Download EasyLang

Download the latest version of EasyLang from the GitHub repository

Or you can clone the repository using git: 

git clone https://github.com/greenbugx/EasyLang.git
cd EasyLang

Note: If you cloned the repository, make sure to add the EasyLang directory to your system PATH for easy access.

Step 2: Install EasyLang (Only if you downloaded the executable installer)

Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. After installation, you should be able to run EasyLang from your terminal or command prompt by typing:

el --version

You should see: 

EasyLang version 0.1.x by GreenBugX(0xNA)

Step 3: Verify ELPM Installation (Optional)

EasyLang comes with its own package manager called ELPM (EasyLang Package Manager). If you installed EasyLang using the installer, ELPM should be installed automatically if you selected that option during installation.

To verify ELPM installation, run: 

elpm --version

You should see: 

ELPM - EasyLang Package Manager v2025.x

Running Your First EasyLang Program

Create a new file named hello.elang and add the following code: 

so print "Hello, EasyLang!"

Run it: 

el hello.elang

Output: 

Hello, EasyLang!

Congratulations! You've successfully run your first EasyLang program.

Running EasyLang in REPL Mode

You can also run EasyLang in an interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) mode. Simply type: 

el --repl

This will open an interactive EasyLang shell where you can type and execute EasyLang commands line by line. Example: 

EasyLang REPL (Type 'exit' or 'quit' to leave)
>>> we let x = 5
>>> so print x * 2
10
>>>

Output: 

10
