Instaling Ironpython for Linux

Can someone please provide a walk through on how to build IronPython for linux (Ubuntu). I could not build the instance mentioned in the documentation at https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/wiki/Building nor can I build the current repo: https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython2.git

After looking through various documents and the github build file I was able to draft a solution that worked. The steps are as follows.

git clone https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython2.git

cd ironpython2/

dotnet restore IronPython.sln --packages ./packages

Make

-> check bin/Release/net40 for ipy.exe Test it by running mono ipy.exe

Else msbuild /p:Configuration=Release IronPython.sln /t:Clean,Build -> check again

Run mono bin/Release/net40/IronPythonTest.exe

Create symlink nano ipy

#!/bin/sh
EXE_PATH=YOUR_PATH
mono $EXE_PATH/ipy.exe “$@”

Replace YOUR_PATH with absolute path, e.i.

Make the scripts executable chmod +x ipy

copy ipy to /usr/local/bin/

At the command line type ipy the IronPython interpreter should come up.
