Hello world/Newbie

Hello world/Newbie is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Guide a new user of a language through the steps necessary to install the programming language and selection of an editor if needed, to run the languages' example in the Hello world/text task.

• Assume the language-newbie is a programmer in another language.
• Assume the language-newbie is competant in installing software for the platform.
• Assume the language-newbie can use one simple text editor for the OS/platform, (but that may not necessarily be a particular one if the installation needs a particular editor).
• Refer to, (and link to), already existing documentation as much as possible (but provide a summary here).
• Remember to state where to view the output.
• If particular IDE's or editors are required that are not standard then point to/explain their installation too.

Note

• If it is more natural for a language to give output via a GUI or to a file etc, then use that method of output rather than as text to a terminal/command-line, but remember to give instructions on how to view the output generated.
• You may use sub-headings if giving instructions for multiple platforms.
