Getting Started with Recital
Starting the Recital Workbench
One of the most useful tools for writing Recital code is the Recital Workbench, a character mode interactive editing, debugging and execution environment in which commands are run as you type them and press Return.
You run recital by typing "recital" at a shell prompt. Linux also has a man page that describes how to use the recital command.
$ recital $ recital --help $ man recital
Running Recital Scripts
You can execute Recital scripts in one of two ways; from the command line (e.g. bash) or through a web server such as apache on Linux/UNIX or IIS on Windows. For the development of Recital applications that will be run from the command line, the Recital Workbench provides all the tools you will need to develop, debug, and test your applications.
Create a Hello World Script
Recital uses the vi/vim editor on UNIX/Linux by default, although you can set an alternative editor using the set tedit command. A simple text editor, called using the textedit() function is also provided.
So, create a file called test.prg using your preferred editor and add the following line:
? "Hello World"
Save the file and run the do command from the Recital prompt:
do test
