# Installation

Download the script from the repository, execute it and let Snowball take care of you.

```sh
curl -fsSL https://snowball-lang.github.io/install/script.sh | bash -s -- -y
```

We make use of the `-y` parameter that tells the install script to avoid all prompts and take the recomended paths

<summary>Adding snowball to $PATH</summary>

The snowball installer will do this automatically but just in case, you can execute:

```sh
export PATH="$PATH:~/.snowball/bin"
```
