To get started, equip yourself with an assembler to convert tal source files into rom binary files, and an emulator to evaluate the rom files. The minimal system below includes the Console device:

# Build the emulator
cc uxnmin.c -o uxnmin

# Build the assembler
xxd -r -p uxnasm.rom.txt uxnasm.rom

# Assemble a tal file
cat opctest.tal | uxnmin uxnasm.rom > opctest.rom

# Run a rom file
uxnmin opctest.rom
