Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler
In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let’s say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:
cd user/rust/projects/example1
Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called “cargo” the command to compile is “build”.
So with that information I type:
cargo build
While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:
user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod
Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.
The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it’s done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh…

A lot of people would rather just go to a store and buy a pie.
