Setting environments
- Option 1:
Try it in your browser: when you can access the Internet on your computer
Try F# (fsharp.org) is based on Fable 2.0.11
Fable REPL is based on the latest version
Let's try the lastest version, open fable.io/repl/
input or copy and paste code below in the edit area, press the run button on the left sidebar
let hello = "Hello, World!"
printfn $"{hello}"
you will see the output of your code on the Console window at lower right corner, good start!
- Option 2:
Install F# SDK on your computer
Official guide how to set environment on you computer:
F# Tutorial | Hello World in 5 minutes | .NET (microsoft.com)
Windows for example:
download .Net 8 SDK on the turorial page
or from the releases page
Download .NET 8.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) (microsoft.com)
double click the exe file
click install, follow the hints, click next until it finished
open a new command window
run the following command to test if your environment is ready
dotnet --version
output
you can follow the official guide if you're using Linux or macOS, all our code in the following articles will be running on Windows(10/11), it should not be a problem if you're not using Windows, as F# is expected to run on Linux or macOS without change, it's not guaranteed 100% though.
