# REPL
Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) is a simple, interactive computer programming
environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates
them, and returns the result to the user.
The `repl` module provides a REPL implementation that can be accessed using:
* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed as a local
project dependency:
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/electron --interactive
```
* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed globally:
```sh
electron --interactive
```
Note: This only creates a REPL for the main process. You can use the Console
tab of the Dev Tools to get a REPL for the renderer processes.
