Install C++ compiler

A C++ compiler is required to compile swirl programs. Because we convert our swirl programs to c++ programs and that needs to be compiled down into machine code.

For Swirl a C++ 20 compiler is required.

Linux

C++ compilers come preinstalled on most of the linux distros. But if its not follow the tutorial.

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt install g++

Fedora

sudo dnf install gcc

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S gcc

After installing the C++ compiler, you can verify the installation by checking the version number:

g++ --version
