Getting started with JOCKY

Get the toolchain onto your machine, then learn the language from the official documentation.

  1. Get JOCKY

    Download a release build for your platform from the downloads page. If no release matches your platform, or you want the latest development version, build from source (step 2).

  2. Or build it from source

    Clone the repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/CyberKnight-cmd/jocky.git
$ cd jocky

    Then follow Building JOCKY in the contributing guide for requirements and build steps.

  3. Learn the language

    The language documentation is the complete guide to JOCKY. Start at the beginning and work through it in order.

  4. Ask when you get stuck

    Post questions in GitHub Discussions. Include your OS, how you installed JOCKY and the smallest piece of code that shows the problem. If you think you've found a compiler bug, open an issue.
