Installing ReScript locally

Learn how to install ReScript locally to solve Exercism's exercises on your own machine


This track uses ReScript 12 and relies on Node.js 22 or greater. Many systems will have this pre-installed or you may have previously installed it for another track.

Open a terminal and run:

node -v

If Node isn't installed or an older version is listed, please follow the official Node.js installation instructions for your platform.

Installing dependencies

Each ReScript exercise is a self-contained npm project. After downloading an exercise with the Exercism CLI, install the project dependencies including ReScript and you're ready to go:

cd /path/to/exercise
npm install

Editor support

The ReScript Project maintains a list of both official and community-supported editor plugins.
