Xeno IDE requires the Xeno language runtime to execute code:
- Open Xeno IDE
- Go to Settings (⚙️ button in sidebar)
- Navigate to the Xeno tab
- Click "Check Updates"
- Select desired version and click "Install"
Alternative Manual Installation:
Download xeno_host.exe directly from the Xeno Language EXE repository releases and place it in the xeno/ directory. Important: After manual installation, run xeno_host.exe once and close it to automatically generate the configuration file required by IDE. Without this step, IDE will show installation error.
- Launch Xeno IDE
- Write your Xeno code in the editor
- Click the Run button (
▶️ ) in the sidebar - View output in the console panel
- Save your work with the Save button (💾)
