Whiley Development Kit

Repository of releases for the Whiley Programming Language. See whiley.org for more information on the language. The Whiley Development Kit provides a command-line interface for compiling and running Whiley programs.

Install

To install the Whiley Development Kit, first download the latest version from the dist/ directory and unpack the tarball into an appropriate directory. You then need to make sure that PATH environment variable points to the bin/ directory inside where you unpacked the tarball, where several scripts are provided for running Whiley. Then set the WHILEYHOME environment variable to the directory of the unpacked tarball.

Run

With the PATH setup correctly, you should be able to run the wy tool to compile Whiley programs as follows:

% cd example
% wy build

At this point, you should be able to see the generated JavaScript files in bin/js. You can run the program by pointing your web-browser to the index.html file provided.

Command-Line Options

To see the available command-line options, run wy help:

usage: wy [--verbose] command [<options>] [<args>]
