12.4.1 Getting started with Haxe/Neko

To get started with Haxe/Neko, create a new folder and save this class as Main.hx.

 /**  Multi-line comments for documentation. **/ class Main {  static public function main():Void {  // Single line comment  trace("Hello World");  } } 

To compile, either run the following from the command line:

 haxe --neko hello.n --main Main 

Another possibility is to create and run (double-click) a file called compile.hxml. In this example the hxml file should be in the same directory as the example class.

 --neko hello.n --main Main 

The compiler outputs a binary file called hello.n in the current folder, which can be executed with neko hello.n from the command line.
