Hello Simo,

Welcome aboard!

To install Ring on your OS, please follow these steps:

1. Download the Ring distribution for your OS from: https://ring-lang.github.io/download.html

2. Install the files:

• On Windows: Run the executable installer (e.g., Ring_1.24_Windows_64bit.exe). When prompted, extract the files to C:\ (resulting in C:\ring).
• On Linux/macOS: Extract the zip archive to a path like /home/username/ring.
  (Please ensure the directory contains the "bin", "extensions", etc. folders).

3. Finalize the installation:

• For Windows: Add the Ring bin directory (e.g., C:\ring\bin) to your system PATH.
• For Linux/macOS: Navigate to the bin directory (e.g., /home/username/ring/bin) and run ./install.sh.

4. For documentation, you can find a PDF at ring/documents/ring.pdf. Alternatively, open ring/documents/build/html/introduction.html in your web browser.

Best regards,
Youssef

Thank yоу  Youssef.

I want to try Ring, as I work with Harbour. Not to replace Harbour just to try "the best of both worlds" as Mahmoud Fayed said.

Simo.
