If you're on Mac, you may use homebrew:

$ brew install zaid-language/zaid-lang/zaid-lang

Go Install (Not working currently)

If you have Go installed, you may use go install:
$ go install github.com/zaid-language/zaid-lang

Building Zaidlang

If you're on a Unix or Mac machine, you can easily download the source code and build directly:
git clone https://github.com/zaid-language/zaid-lang
cd zaid-lang
make
This downloads and builds the latest version of Zaidlang found on GitHub. You will be put inside a fresh instance of zaid if everything was successful.

Interactive Mode

If you just run zaid without any arguments, it starts the interpreter in interactive mode (aka, REPL mode, read-eval-print loop). You can type in a line of code, and immediately execute it. While in this mode, your state is saved until you exit the program. Meaning if you define a variable, you may reference the variable later on.
