Chapter 2: Installing V Programming
The V programming language supports various operating systems (OSes) such as Windows, Linux (including Window Subsystem for Linux (WSL)), macOS, BSD, Solaris, Android, and Raspbian. In this chapter, we will focus on how to install V on the most popularly used OSes (such as Windows and Ubuntu) for development activities. Additionally, we will gain an understanding of how to add V to the environment variables on Windows. For Ubuntu OS, we will examine how to make V globally accessible by creating a symbolic link. This will enable us to access V from any directory within the OS using the Command-Line Interpreter (CLI).
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Installing V on the Windows OS
- Adding V to environment variables in the Windows OS
- Installing V on the Linux OS (Ubuntu)
- Symlink V to make V globally accessible in Ubuntu
