Rascal Developers Setup Step by Step

Git setup

Some general git tips, and a few github specific tips.

• be sure to setup your name in git: git config --global user.name "Rascal Developer #42"
• be sure to setup your email address: git config --global user.email "rascal.developer42@cwi.nl" (this should match one of the email addresses in your profile)
• use the ssh URLs, they are easier to use, especially in combination with public keys.
• make sure you use the ssh over port 443 tunneling trick this will assure you are able to access the repository anywhere :).

Clone Projects from github

The following projects should all reside in the same workspace which you use to develop Rascal:

• pdb
• pdb.ui
• pdb.values
• imp.runtime
• AmbiDexter
• rascal
• rascal-eclipse
• rascal-shell

Install Additional Dependencies

Afterwards there are still some dependencies that have to be installed as Eclipse plug-ins:

1. Add this Orbit Build Repository to the Eclipse update sites.

• And install ASM from that update site

Configure Tutor Compiler

Optionally, if you want to run the tutor compiler, see this page: Updating Tutor Documentation.
