Getting Started

Installation

Gama is designed for a simple, zero-setup experience.

# Installing on Windows

The easiest way to get started on Windows is to download the official installer.

1. Navigate to the Gama Releases Page.
2. Download the latest gama-*-windows-setup.exe file.
3. Run the installer. It will automatically add gama to your system's PATH and bundle all the necessary compilers. No other downloads are required.

# Installing on Linux

On Linux, Gama integrates with your system's package manager.

1. Go to the Gama Releases Page.
2. Download the package for your distribution (.deb for Debian/Ubuntu, .pkg.tar.zst for Arch Linux).
3. Install it using your system's package manager (e.g., sudo dpkg -i gama.deb or sudo pacman -U gama.pkg.tar.zst).
4. Install the dependencies: Gama requires tcc and zig. You can install them with:

           # For Debian/Ubuntu
   sudo apt update && sudo apt install tcc
   
   # For Arch Linux
   sudo pacman -Syu tcc zig
   
         

   And you can download the latest version of zig from the official website.
