Installation

Install node.js from nodejs.org for your operating system. Then install dust via the node package manager

sudo npm install -g dustlayer

Then you are good to go, typical you want to setup the tools:

dust setup

[... once this is done ...]

dust test # shows if everything is in place

Download a tutorial to check if your setup works:

cd ~
dust tutorials # list tutorial code and select one for download
# cd into the directory and run dust compile	
dust compile # compiles the C64 code and runs it in the C64 Emulator

or open the project in Sublime first and build from context menu

# cd into the directory 
sublime .

Then hit CMD-B - if nothing happens, you need to select one time the appropriate build system in Tools->Build System->C64-6502, then hit again CMD-B
