{{guide-download}}
## Building from Source
Alternatively, you can build min from source as follows:
1. Download and install [nim](https://nim-lang.org).
2. Download and build [Nifty](https://github.com/h3rald/nifty), and put the nifty executable somewhere in your [$PATH](class:kwd).
3. Clone the min [repository](https://github.com/h3rald/min).
4. Navigate to the min repository local folder.
5. Run **nifty install** to download min’s dependencies.
7. Run **nim c -d:release min.nim**.
## Running then min Shell
To start min shell, run [min -i](class:cmd). You will be presented with a prompt displaying the path to the current directory:
> %min-terminal%
> [[/Users/h3rald/test]$](class:prompt)
You can type min code and press [ENTER](class:kbd) to evaluate it immediately:
> %min-terminal%
> [[/Users/h3rald/test]$](class:prompt) 2 2 +
> {1} -> 4
> [[/Users/h3rald/test]$](class:prompt)
The result of each operation will be placed on top of the stack, and it will be available to subsequent operation
> %min-terminal%
> [[/Users/h3rald/test]$](class:prompt) dup *
> {1} -> 16
> [[/Users/h3rald/test]$](class:prompt)
To exit min shell, press [CTRL+C](class:kbd) or type [exit](class:cmd) and press [ENTER](class:kbd).
## Executing a min Program
To execute a min script, you can:
* Run `min -e:"... program ..."` to execute a program inline.
* Run `min myfile.min` to execute a program contained in a file.
min also supports running programs from standard input, so the following command can also be used (on Unix-like system) to run a program saved in [myfile.min](class:file):
> %min-terminal%
>
> [$](class:prompt) cat myfile.min | min
