To compile Red you need to install the OCaml compiler.

On Debian or Ubuntu you can run:

sudo apt-get install ocaml

Alternatively, you can use OPAM (OCaml Package Manager, https://opam.ocaml.org):

sudo apt-get install opam
opam init
opam switch 4.03.0

Compile Red by running:

make

A symbolic link is created to the executable. Run it with:

./red

You can specify filenames on the command-line to open them immediately.
