Summary
You've learned a lot so far. This chapter has taught you a lot of practical things that are crucial when getting started with Bosque. Let's do a short recap of what you've learned.
First, we talked about the software requirements to run Bosque. We covered the required OS architecture and what you can do if your host system does not meet the requirements. After that, you learned what additional software is mandatory in order to install and run Bosque.
Then, we covered the compiler—why it is needed and how to install it. You learned about the default Bosque compiler, which is used to generate executables, and how you can install it on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
You then installed the Bosque language itself, along with the tools such as ExeGen. You also learned what the recommended IDE for Bosque is, and how you can install the syntax highlighter so that writing Bosque programs is much easier.
