Install HaxeFlixel
To install the latest stable version of HaxeFlixel, open a command prompt and run the following Haxelib commands:
haxelib install lime
haxelib install openfl
haxelib install flixel
BASH
After the installation is complete, you can compile games to HTML5, Flash and Neko out of the box.
To easily install additional libraries (addons, ui, demos, tools, templates...) in a single step, just run:
haxelib run lime setup flixel
BASH
Install the lime
command
haxelib run lime setup
BASH
This makes lime
available as a command (alias for haxelib run lime
).
To compile to desktop and mobile targets, you have to make sure you have run the respective lime setup
commands. Each are specified in the
Lime "Advanced Setup" docs.
Install the flixel
command
Run the following two commands to install flixel-tools (needed for project templates among other things):
haxelib install flixel-tools
haxelib run flixel-tools setup
BASH
Updating HaxeFlixel
If a new version of Flixel has been released, and you want to update to it, you can use the following command to do so:
haxelib update flixel
BASH
If you wanted to update e.g. flixel-addons
instead, just replace flixel
with flixel-addons
.
