Installing Nyssa

Nyssa comes prepackaged with all Blade versions since v0.0.86 and needs no further installation action. You'll need to upgrade your Blade installation if you are on a version of Blade lower than v0.0.86.

The best way to enjoy the power of Nyssa is to add your Blade installation path to your shell/terminal environment. If yo have installed Blade on a UNIX/Linux device using the installation link, you should already have blade and nyssa in your path.

Various operating systems provides different mechanisms for adding a path to the environment so the steps may vary for your specific operating system.

Here's a few links for different operating systems showing how to do this.

Testing your installation

If you have installed Blade and successfully added Blade installation directory to system path, open a new terminal session (may be required) and run the command nyssa --version.

You should see an output similar to the below.
