We have tried to attribute the original\nauthors of these programs where possible.\n\n## Getting the source\nDownload the source code by running the following code in your command prompt:\n```sh\n$ git clone https://github.com/fabianishere/brainfuck.git\n```\nor simply [grab](https://github.com/fabianishere/brainfuck/archive/master.zip) a copy of the source code as a Zip file.\n\n## Building\nCreate the build directory.\n```sh\n$ mkdir build\n$ cd build\n```\nBrainfuck requires CMake and a C compiler (e.g. Clang or GCC) in order to run. It also depends on [libedit](http://thrysoee.dk/editline/), which is available in the main repositories of most Linux distributions (e.g. as [libedit-dev](https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libedit-dev) on Debian/Ubuntu) and comes with the macOS XCode command line tools. \nThen, simply create the Makefiles:\n```sh\n$ cmake ..\n```\nand finally, build it using the building system you chose (e.g. Make):\n```sh\n$ make\n```\n\nAfter the build has been finished,",
