# 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.
