Quickstart: Docker

Run the pre-built Docker image:

docker run --rm -it dmulholl/pyro:latest

Running the Docker image automatically runs its installed Pyro binary.

Running the Pyro binary without any arguments launches the REPL — an interactive environment where you can run Pyro commands directly.

At the REPL prompt, type echo "hello world"; and hit return:

>>> echo "hello world";
hello world

Pyro statements normally end with a semicolon, ;, but you can omit the semicolon after typing a single statement in the REPL:

>>> echo "hello world"
hello world

Hit Ctrl-D or type exit and hit return to end the REPL session.

Open a Bash shell in the pre-built Docker image:

docker run --rm -it dmulholl/pyro:latest bash

You'll find a ready-made test file in the home directory:

cat ./hello.pyro

It contains a simple Pyro script:

echo "hello world";

Run the script by supplying its filepath to the Pyro binary:

pyro ./hello.pyro
hello world

That's it, you can officially add Pyro to the list of languages on your CV. Take the tour if you'd like to learn more about the language.

You can find instructions for building and installing Pyro on your local system here.
