Thor

A self-hosted build tool for the Zap programming language.

Requirements

• Zap v0.1.1

Building from Source

Thor is self-hosted — it uses itself to build itself. The first build must be done manually using the Zap compiler directly.

Step 1 — Bootstrap

git clone https://github.com/thezaplang/thor
cd thor
mkdir -p build
zapc src/main.zp -o build/thor

Step 2 — Self-hosted build

Once the bootstrap binary exists, use it to rebuild Thor with Thor itself:

./build/thor build

You now have a fully self-hosted Thor binary.

Adding to PATH

# Option A — copy to a directory already in PATH
sudo cp build/thor /usr/local/bin/thor

# Option B — add the build directory to PATH (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/thor/build"
source ~/.bashrc

Verify:

thor --version

Usage

thor new <project_name>
thor build
thor run
