# Tengo CLI Tool
Tengo is designed as an embedding script language for Go, but, it can also be
compiled and executed as native binary using `tengo` CLI tool.
## Installing Tengo CLI
To install `tengo` tool, run:
```bash
go get github.com/d5/tengo/cmd/tengo
```
Or, you can download the precompiled binaries from
[here](https://github.com/d5/tengo/releases/latest).
## Compiling and Executing Tengo Code
You can directly execute the Tengo source code by running `tengo` tool with
your Tengo source file (`*.tengo`).
```bash
tengo myapp.tengo
```
Or, you can compile the code into a binary file and execute it later.
```bash
tengo -o myapp myapp.tengo # compile 'myapp.tengo' into binary file 'myapp'
tengo myapp # execute the compiled binary `myapp`
```
## Tengo REPL
You can run Tengo [REPL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readevalprint_loop)
if you run `tengo` with no arguments.
```bash
tengo
```
