Prerequisites (Linux Fedora)

Java 17 or higher
`JAVA_HOME` correctly configured
Naftah distribution folder containing:
`lib/` (core and optional `.jar` files)
Linux CLI scripts (`.sh`)

Install Java on Fedora (if needed):
sudo dnf install java-17-openjdk-devel

Verify installation:
java -version
echo $JAVA_HOME

Available Naftah Scripts (Linux)

`naftah.sh` → Default entry point (runs scripts)
`naftah-repl.sh` → Interactive REPL
`naftah-init.sh` → Initialize Java/Kotlin/Groovy libraries
`naftah-man.sh` → Interactive CLI manual

Make scripts executable if needed:
chmod +x *.sh

Running a Naftah Script
./naftah.sh hello.naftah

Starting the Interactive REPL
./naftah-repl.sh
or
./naftah.sh shell

REPL features:
Multi-line input
Command history & navigation
Live feedback with Arabic-style syntax

Initializing Java Libraries
./naftah-init.sh
or
./naftah.sh init

This scans all `.jar` files under the `lib/` folder and enables:

Java / Kotlin / Groovy interoperability
Arabic-transliterated access to JVM APIs
No build tools or extra configuration

Using the Naftah Interactive Manual
./naftah-man.sh
or
./naftah.sh man

Features:
Explore commands, functions, and JVM metadata
Arabic & English help
Fully terminal-based and offline

Example Workflow

1. Add `.jar` files to `lib/`
2. Run `./naftah-init.sh`
3. Start REPL or run a `.naftah` script
