📚 Getting Started

Installation

⚠️ Neit is currently in development and not ready for production use!

“Sometimes it feels better to hold a grudge than to let it go.”

At its current state, Neit doesn't have a stable installer. However, you can set it up manually by following these instructions:

Download and Set Up Neit:

On Linux:

  1. Download the Linux Zip File
    Get it from the release section.

  2. Extract the Executable
    Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file.

  3. Open Terminal in the Extracted Directory
    Navigate to the directory where you extracted the files.

  4. Run the Following Commands
    In the terminal, execute these commands:

# Make the neit file executable
chmod +x ./neit

# Place it in the local bin folder
sudo mv ./neit /usr/local/bin/neit

# Now reload your shell
# If you don't know which shell you are using, just close all terminal windows and open a new one.
# Else, for bash, run:
source ~/.bashrc

  1. Install clang and lld
    Ensure you have installed clang and lld on your system. Use the commands below based on your distribution:

  2. Debian/Ubuntu:

    bash sudo apt install clang lld

  3. CentOS/RHEL 8 or later:

    bash sudo dnf install clang lld

  4. CentOS/RHEL 7:

    bash sudo yum install clang lld

  5. Arch Linux:

    bash sudo pacman -S clang lld

  6. openSUSE:

    bash sudo zypper install clang lld

  7. Gentoo:

    bash sudo emerge dev-lang/clang

  8. Alpine: bash sudo apk add clang lld

On Windows:

  1. Download and Install TDM-GCC
    Get it from TDM-GCC and run the installer.

  2. Install Visual C++ Redistributable
    Download and install vc_redist

NOTE: You can also use clang as a compiler and linker for Neit, but you need to manually set it in the PATH. Neit will auto-detect clang and use it, and clang provides more optimization.

  1. Setting Up Neit in PATH

#### Using PowerShell:

  1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.

  2. Run the following command to add Neit to your system PATH (adjust the path as needed):

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Path\To\Neit", [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

Using Command Prompt:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
  2. Run the following command:
setx Path "%Path%;C:\Path\To\Neit" /M
