Installation and setup

JugaadLang requires Python 3.10 or newer. Its jug command runs programs, opens the REPL, and provides development tools.

Create an environment

Check python --version. On Windows, use py if python is unavailable; on macOS or Linux, use python3 if needed.

python -m venv .venv

Activate it in your terminal:

If PowerShell prevents activation, you can use .venv\Scripts\python.exe and .venv\Scripts\jug.exe directly instead of changing system policy.

Install the language

python -m pip install jugaadlang
jug --version
jug doctor

The version command prints the installed release. jug doctor checks the local environment. Follow getting started to run your first file.

Optional web dependencies

For the optional web integrations:

python -m pip install "jugaadlang[web]"

The standard library reference explains the HTTP client and web framework APIs.

Upgrade

python -m pip install --upgrade jugaadlang

Use the same Python environment for installation and execution. If jug is not found, activate the environment and check python -m pip show jugaadlang.

Editor setup

Save source files with the .jug extension. The VS Code extension provides language support. A plain text editor and terminal also work.
