How to use Corazza in your script

Just add import Corazza to your script

In order to be able to import it, you need to have the Corazza in the Swift search path. You can achieve this by compiling it yourself or downloading a binary version from a release. You need to invoke Swift with the -F argument, pointing to the folder where Corazza is stored.

Carthage integration

Corazza can be downloaded locally with Carthage.

Just add

github "marcoconti83/Corazza"

to your Cartfile. After running

carthage update

you would be able to run any swift file with

swift -F Carthage/Build/Mac

The -F flag can also be included in the shebang line of the script, so that you can just invoke the script directly (e.g. $> do.swift). This is the approach used in the examples included with this project.

Without Carthage

You can download the framework binary from the GitHub latest release
