JapyScript(JPS)

How to Install and Run JapyScript (JPS)

JapyScript is a scripting language, not a ready-made app, so you can run it on any operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android/Termux) by following these short steps:

Prerequisites

Make sure Python 3.8 or newer is installed on your device.

Download and extract the ZIP

Download the file JapyScript-v1_5_0-Beta.zip from this page, then unzip it into the folder where you want to use it.

Open a command line / terminal

Use the cd command to move into the project's main folder (the one that contains main.py). For example, on Android (Termux):

cd ~/storage/downloads/JapyScript-v1_5_0-Beta

ls

Or, using the direct path:

cd /sdcard/Download/JapyScript-v1_5_0-Beta

Run the example scripts

Run a JPS script through the main engine by giving the path of the example file after the command.

Hero Walk example:

python main.py examples/01_hero_walk.japy

Logic Test example:

python main.py examples/02_logic.japy

Note (under development): The current version is the v1.5.0 Beta test release. If you run into problems with the compiler system (Lexer / Parser), you can report bugs or send suggestions in the community section below!

One thing to check: the folder name is written two ways (JapyScript-v1_5_0-Beta with dots and JapyScript-v1_5_0-Beta with underscores), and the ZIP name uses yet another style. Make sure the name in your cd command matches the folder that actually appears after extracting, or the command will fail.
