📦 Script Distribution

[nvzqz]

Ocean should be able to support installing scripts written in various programming languages.

To achieve this, it needs to:

1. Be able to install the given languages
2. Run the script through the installed language

Languages

• Python
• Ruby
• Swift
• R
• Lua
• Perl
• Tcl
• Bash
• Bourne Shell (sh)
• C Shell (csh)
• KornShell (ksh)
• PowerShell

Unresolved Questions

• How is the language selected?

  Should we have some form of setting/unsetting a globally usable language? This would require us knowing that me/my-script is written in Python up-front. Such information could be in my-script's manifest.

  ocean set python@3
  ocean run --script me/my-script
  

  Should we instead pass a --with flag for choosing what to run it through?

  ocean run --script me/my-script --with python@3
