Installing Odin

Setting up odin is already covered in detail. I will jump straight into code. If everything went well, you will have odin command available.

❯ odin
odin is a tool for managing Odin source code.
Usage:
        odin command [arguments]
Commands:
        build             Compiles directory of .odin files, as an executable.
                          One must contain the program's entry point, all must be in the same package.
        run               Same as 'build', but also then runs the newly compiled executable.
        bundle            Bundles a directory in a specific layout for that platform.
        check             Parses and type checks a directory of .odin files.
        strip-semicolon   Parses, type checks, and removes unneeded semicolons from the entire program.
        test              Builds and runs procedures with the attribute @(test) in the initial package.
        doc               Generates documentation from a directory of .odin files.
        version           Prints version.
        report            Prints information useful to reporting a bug.
        root              Prints the root path where Odin looks for the builtin collections.

For further details on a command, invoke command help:
        e.g. `odin build -help` or `odin help build`

Exercise

Explore the odin command. Try running the help for each subcommand. For example:

odin check --help

How do you check the style of your odin code?
