### Installing
#### Installing on Windows
#### Installing on Windows with precompiled binaries
1. Make sure you have Visual Studio 17 2022 installed.
2. Install CMake
3. Clone the C3C github repository: `git clone https://github.com/c3lang/c3c.git`
4. Enter the C3C directory `cd c3c`.
5. Set up the CMake build `cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
6. Build: `cmake --build build --config Release`
7. You should now have the c3c.exe
2. Download the zip file: [https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-windows.zip](https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-windows.zip)
(debug version [here](https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-windows-debug.zip))
3. Unzip exe and standard lib.
4. Run `c3c.exe`.
You should now have a `c3c` executable.
#### Installing on Debian with precompiled binaries
1. Download tar file: [https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-linux.tar.gz](https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-linux.tar.gz)
(debug version [here](https://github.com/c3lang/c3c/releases/download/latest/c3-linux-debug.tar.gz))
2. Unpack executable and standard lib.
3. Run `./c3c`.
You can try it out by running some sample code: `c3c.exe compile ../resources/examples/hash.c3`
#### Installing on Mac with precompiled binaries
1. Make sure you have XCode with command line tools installed.
