crystal: Compile a file and all dependencies to a single executable.
$ crystal build ${filename-cr}
try on your machine
This command is used to compile a Crystal source file named ${filename}.cr
and generate an executable binary file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
crystal
: This is the Crystal programming language's compiler. It is used to convert Crystal source code into executable binaries.build
: This is the command for the Crystal compiler to build an executable binary file from the given source code.${filename-cr}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the source file to be compiled.${filename}
should be replaced with the actual name of the Crystal source file, and-cr
is appended at the end, indicating its file extension.
For example, if the source file is my_program.cr
, the command would be crystal build my_program.cr
.
