Installing Neko
You should read this section if you want to manually install Neko on your operating system. If you don ??™ t
want to do this manually, read the previous section on how to automatically install haXe, which includes
the Neko install.
When you manually install haXe for Windows, a copy of Neko is also installed allowing you to run your
Neko files. However, installing the Neko distribution from the Neko website allows for some extra
development capabilities. These include being able to compile your own Neko modules in C for use in
haXe and being able to examine some of the source files included with the distribution so that you can
get a good look at how the Neko language can be used. Also, Linux users compiling from source will not
have the luxury of having Neko installed for them, so they must follow along, too.
Manually Installing Neko on Windows
Installing Neko on a Windows operating system requires a slightly different route over the haXe install
as an environment variable needs to be manually set so that Windows can locate the Neko files when
you want to compile your Neko applications.
