Enable Workflows and install runtimes

Goal

Switch Workflows on and confirm that the runtimes you plan to use are on PATH. Time: 10 minutes. Needs: Termorq Pro (or Trial).

Pro feature

Free builds don’t offer the experimental flag or the Workflows page. The edition pill (FREE, TRIAL, or PRO) is at the right of the header.

Steps

Open Settings → Experimental.
Turn on Workflows. It is off by default.
Open the page with Cmd+Shift+G (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows/Linux). You can also open the jump list with Ctrl+J and choose Workflows, or type @flow.

If you later turn the flag off, Termorq hides the page’s entry points and workflow settings. A workflow that is already open stays open until you leave it.

Check your runtimes

Termorq doesn’t bundle language runtimes. The code runner uses whatever is installed on your computer. Run these commands in a Termorq terminal tab:

bash --version | head -1
jq --version            # used by Bash JSON examples
pwsh --version          # PowerShell
python3 --version
dotnet --version        # needs 10.0 or later for C#
rustc --version         # needs Rust 2024 edition support
node --version          # 22.6+ runs TypeScript natively

bash --version          # Git Bash or WSL exposed on PATH
jq --version
pwsh --version
python --version
dotnet --version
rustc --version
node --version

Language	Needs
Bash	`bash` on `PATH`. Workflow Bash is always Bash, even if your terminal tab runs another shell.
PowerShell	`pwsh` (runs with `-NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass`)
Python	Python 3 as `python3` or `python` (runs unbuffered with `-u`)
C#	.NET SDK 10+ (single-file app via `dotnet run`)
Rust	`rustc` with edition 2024 (`--edition 2024 -O`), without Cargo
JavaScript	Node.js (runs as an ES module, `snippet.mjs`)
TypeScript	Node.js 22.6+ native type stripping, or a `tsx` executable

Warning

If you install a runtime while Termorq is open, restart Termorq so it can find the runtime.

Check your run

The Workflows page opens and lists at least the Included workflows, such as Refresh Acme users and Probe mock. Each runtime you plan to use prints a version.

Exercise

Find out which Node.js version you have. Will TypeScript blocks run natively, or will they need tsx?

Details

node --version 22.6 or newer: native type stripping is used, even if tsx is also installed. Older: install tsx (npm i -g tsx) and restart Termorq.
