Install Language Specific Tools

SplashKit supports multiple programming languages, each with its own set of tools. Follow the instructions below to install the required tools for your chosen language.

Language-Specific Installations

C# (.NET)

To develop with C# in SplashKit, you’ll need to install the .NET SDK.

Download the .NET SDK

Go to the official .NET download page and download the latest version of the .NET SDK for macOS.
Install the .NET SDK

Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Verify the Installation

Restart your terminal to ensure the SDK is recognized, then run the following command to confirm the installation:
Terminal window
```
dotnet --version
```
If installed correctly, this command will output the version number of the .NET SDK.

For C++

For C++, you (should) already be ready to go.

Python

To develop with Python in SplashKit, you’ll need Python 3 installed. You can easily install Python 3 using Homebrew.

Install Homebrew (if not already installed)

Open your terminal and enter the following command to install Homebrew:
Terminal window
```
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
Install Python 3

Use Homebrew to install Python 3:
Terminal window
```
brew install python
```
Verify Installation (Optional)

Check that Python 3 and pip3 (Python’s package installer) are correctly installed by running:
Terminal window
```
python3 --version
pip3 --version
```
Both commands should output version information if the installation was successful.

Other Languages

Support for other languages such as Rust and Pascal are coming soon.

Next Steps

Congratulations! You’ve completed the setup of language-specific tools for SplashKit. You’re now ready to start developing.
