Quick Start

# Run REPL
docker run -it arturolang/arturo

# Run a script
docker run -v $(pwd):/workspace arturolang/arturo script.art

# Run inline code
docker run arturolang/arturo -e "print 'Hello, World!'"

Available Tags

Tag	Size	Description
latest, mini	~ 9 MB	Mini build (default)
full	~ 230 MB	Full build with high-precision math & GUI support
nightly	~ 9 MB	Nightly mini build
nightly-full	~ 23O MB	Nightly full build

Note

Not sure which variant to use? See the Build Variants documentation for details on mini vs full. Hint: most likely you want need anything other than the default/mini build 😉

Caution

Tag naming clarification: In Arturo's context, "latest" typically refers to nightly builds. However, following Docker Hub conventions, the :latest tag here points to the stable mini variant (our recommended default). For nightly builds, use the :nightly or :nightly-full tags explicitly.

Usage Examples

Interactive REPL

docker run -it arturolang/arturo

Run a Local Script

docker run -v $(pwd):/workspace arturolang/arturo script.art

Run Inline Code

docker run arturolang/arturo -e "print 'Hello from Docker!'"

Use Full Variant

docker run -it arturolang/arturo:full

Use Nightly Builds

# Mini nightly
docker run -it arturolang/arturo:nightly

# Full nightly
docker run -it arturolang/arturo:nightly-full

Contributing

Want to build and test the images locally? That's actually quite straightforward! :)
