running mojo files

[BlackHo0d]

I've installed mojo and now can use it in the REPL. But I can't run mojo files. I've read that I should add the following lines to your configuration file (.bash_profile, .bashrc, or .zshrc) but I don't understand how to do it. Can anyone help me with that ?

I'm using Mac OS(Intel)

There are two ways you can run a mojo file. One is through the mojo "interpreter", and the other is to build an executable and run it natively.

# cli.mojo
import sys

fn main():
    let args = sys.argv()
    for idx in range(1, len(args)):
        print(args[idx])

Now you can run it through the mojo command without building an executable

❯ : mojo cli.mojo hello world
hello
world

# You can also do `mojo run`
❯ : mojo run cli.mojo hello world
hello
world

Or you can build a native executable

~/Projects/anting 
❯ : mojo build cli.mojo

~/Projects/anting 
❯ : ./cli hello world
hello
world

By the way, there's some documentation if you haven't read it yet.
