@tedchoward @davew aah. Good to know. I'll have a look later. I've got an Intel machine I can try it on

@tedchoward@tedchoward @davew Well, I got a little ahead of myself. The REPL should work for some basic stuff, but there are still dot-path search issues I have to track down. This one has been a slog, but making slow and steady progress. Either way it's worthwhile to pull again and rebuild. From the top-level of the project you should be able to run:
./frontier-cli/frontier-cli ./databases/Frontier.root
... to start the REPL.

@tedchoward@tedchoward @davew Just pull the latest develop to get the updates. I also have another PR coming in that fixes some eggregious issues in dot-path resolution. That'll take maybe 20 min, so you'll want to pull again and rebuild in just a bit.

@tedchoward@tedchoward @davew I asked Claude to assess the docs gaps and close them. The README.md now has build instructions, and docs/GETTING_STARTED.md is a new "newcomer" guide with: system requirements, prerequisites, step-by-step instructions, UserTalk examples, REPL usage, and troubleshooting guide. Hopefully this is enough to get you started playing around with it. 🙂

@tedchoward@tedchoward @davew I actually never build it by hand, but that is the correct makefile. Develop is pretty broken still at the moment, but should get a lot more stable by the end of today. If you look at CLAUDE.md at the top of the project tree, there's a quick reference with a list of commands for running tests and doing db migrations, but oddly nothing about how to build. Lemme fix that!

@tedchoward@tedchoward @davew You may have noticed some weeks back that I accidentally pushed a PR to your repo! I'm often telling Claude to reference it when investigating what the legacy app did if we get into a tight corner.
It's been going well, and I'm currently working on the low-level guts that would enable POSIX-based networking so that the web client & server will work. It's 100% headless, and my plan is for the UI to be a separate app.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! 🙏
