Building from source

Before you start

You will need:

• A computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux
• A working internet connection
• git installed on your computer
• python3 and pip installed on your computer
• pyinstaller installed and added to your PATH

Step 1: Clone the repository

Open a terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/roblox-compilers/rcc

Step 2: Install the dependencies

Navigate to the rcc directory and run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Build the compiler

RCC is configured so it can BUILD ITSELF. To do this, run the following command:

# Run as administrator depending on the path you are planning to add it to
python3 rcc.py install rcc

It will request for a path to you, the reccomended paths are

• Windows: C:\Program Files\
• Linux: /usr/local/bin/

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RCC. You can now test it by running rcc help in your terminal.
