Chakra is currently in pre-alpha, so installation is definitely not straightforward

Install from source

Requirements

You will need clang/llvm, dotnet, and make to install Chakra.

Steps

Clone the repository from Github:

$ git clone https://github.com/gamebox/chakra-lang
$ cd chakra-lang

Then use make to install

$ make
$ make install

This should build the compiler and the runtime object file and put them the former into a place likely to already be in your PATH.
