# Installing the compiler

## Automatic installation script

### Linux / MacOS /Android (Termux)

For MacOS and most Linux distributions, a simple bash installation script can be used.

If you are on MacOS, make sure that you have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) isntalled.

If you are on Linux, any system using one of these package managers, should be supported

* apt
* yum
* zypper
* pacman

To isntall the CaffeineC compiler, run the following command (without sudo):

```bash
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vyPal/CaffeineC/master/install.bash | bash
```

### Windows

For Windows it should be enough to run this command in a powershell window

```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vyPal/CaffeineC/master/install.ps1'))
```
