=== Running in a Web Browser ===
The easiest way to get started is to use any desktop computer with a web browser, and point it to [https://miniscript.org/tryit/ https://miniscript.org/tryit/]. In the code editor that appears at top-left, delete any example code already there, then type in the following:
<lang MiniScript>print "Hello World!"▼
▲<lang MiniScript>print "Hello World!"</lang>
Then click the '''Run Script''' button. The output will appear in the terminal-style (green text on a black background) box to the right or below the code editor (depending on the width of your browser window).
=== Running on the Command Line ===
For this you will need to download and install command-line MiniScript from [https://miniscript.org/cmdline/ https://miniscript.org/cmdline/]. Select the download link for your platform (Windows, MacOS, or Linux). Unpack the archive using standard tools for your platform. The result will be a command-line executable. Install this somewhere in your standard search path (for example, on Mac and Linux, /usr/local/bin is a standard choice).
Then type miniscript on the command line to start the MiniScript interpreter. Type in the program above and press Enter; results appear immediately on the next line.
=== Running in Mini Micro (on the Web) ===
If you have a desktop WebGL-capable web browser, you can go to either [https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/ https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/] or [https://joestrout.itch.io/mini-micro https://joestrout.itch.io/mini-micro] to run the Mini Micro virtual computer right within your browser. (In the latter case, click the big "Play" button to boot the machine; at miniscript.org, it does this automatically.)
Once Mini Micro is booted, you will note an orange blinking cursor. Type in the program above and press Enter; results appear immediately on the next line.
=== Running in Mini Micro (Locally Installed) ===
From either [https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/] or [https://joestrout.itch.io/mini-micro], download links are available for MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Select the appropriate link for your platform; download and unpack. The result is a standard GUI application named '''Mini Micro'''. Double-click it to launch. It should produce a window that looks just like the WebGL version above. Type in the program above and press Enter; results appear immediately on the next line.
