 7 | ## Getting started
 8 | 
 9 | I recommend trying GForth which is a cross platform forth compiler. It seemed to be the easiest version to install on OSX and can be installed with Homebrew.
10 | 
11 | ```
12 | brew install gforth
13 | 
14 | # Once installed, type gforth to start an interactive session
15 | ```
16 | 
17 | + [GForth](http://www.gnu.org/software/gforth/) Gforth uses GCC to compile a fast direct or indirect threaded Forth
