@ -60,23 +60,40 @@ Unlike many other languages, V is not going to be always changing, with new feat
being introduced and old features modified. It is always going to be a small and simple
language, very similar to the way it is right now.
## Installing V from source
## Installing V - from source *(preferred method)*
### Linux, macOS, Windows, *BSD, Solaris, WSL, Android, Raspbian
### Linux, macOS, Windows, *BSD, Solaris, WSL, Android, etc.
Usually installing V is quite simple if you have an environment that already has a
functional `git` installation.
* *(* ***PLEASE NOTE:*** *If you run into any trouble or you have a different operating
system or Linux distribution that doesn't install or work immediately, please see
[Installation Issues](https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/categories/installation-issues)
and search for your OS and problem. If you can't find your problem, please add it to an
existing discussion if one exists for your OS, or create a new one if a main discussion
doesn't yet exist for your OS.)*
To get started, simply try to execute the following in your terminal/shell:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vlang/v
cd v
make
# HINT: Using Windows?: run make.bat in the cmd.exe shell
```
That's it! Now you have a V executable at `[path to V repo]/v`.
That should be it and you should find your V executable at `[path to V repo]/v`.
`[path to V repo]` can be anywhere.
(On Windows `make` means running `make.bat`, so make sure you use `cmd.exe`)
(As in the hint above, on Windows `make` means running `make.bat`, so make sure you use
the `cmd.exe` terminal.)
Now you can try `./v run examples/hello_world.v` (`v.exe` on Windows).
* *Trouble? Please see the note above and link to
[Installation Issues](https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/categories/installation-issues) for help.*
V is constantly being updated. To update V, simply run:
