101101#### Getting Started
102102This assumes you are running OS X or a Unix-like system (Linux, *BSD, etc.), and already have the ability to [build PureScript from source] (http://www.purescript.org/download/) (bottom of the page) -- but instead of cloning and building the repository in the instructions, make sure to use this project's repo.

104+If you're running macOS 10.11+ (El Capitan or later), you can avoid building it yourself by using these [pre-built snapshot binaries](https://github.com/pure11/pure11/releases/), but make sure you've installed a recent version of [purescript](https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases) first.

1041061. Make sure you have developer tools for your system installed. For OS X, you'll need a recent version of Xcode. For Linux, etc., you need gcc 4.9.2 or later, including g++ support. You can also use clang 3.5 or later, but it still requires gcc for its C++ standard libraries.

1061082. **Optional and advanced:** If you wish to use the Boehm garbage collector (better runtime performance, in general, but less tested), install it for your system. For OS X, [brew](http://brew.sh/) is an easy method and recommended (package `bdw-gc`). For linux, it's available under package names such as `libgc-dev` (for Debian/Ubuntu).
