Frequently asked questions

What programming languages are supported by CMT?

The tooling is programming language agnostic. In other words, you can choose any language you like, or use multiple languages in a course. In fact, you may even have exercises that don't contain any code at all.

What build tools are supported by CMT?

Again, CMT is build tool agnostic. As a consequence, you may use different build tools (sbt, mill, graddle, maven, ...) between exercises. You may also have exercises that don't use a build tool. In fact, you could use CMT to build a course on build tools, starting from an initial state where no build tool is present.

What do I need in terms of other tools, binaries to work with CMT?

This depends on whether you'll be using it as a course author or a course user (ie. a student).

For a student, you need to have the cmtc binary installed. Depending on whether the course you're working on has been initialised as a git repository, you may need to have git installed on your computer.

As a course author, you need to have git and the cmta binary installed.
