Funky is currently implemented in Go and there are no pre-compiled binaries provided yet.

Therefore, the first step is to install the Go language either from the official website or from your package manager.

Go uses $GOPATH directory to download packages and install Go programs. If you installed a recent version of Go, you don't have to set it up, it defaults to ~/go.

Next, you need to download Funky. You do that with the Go package manager:

$ go get -u github.com/faiface/funky/...

This downloads Funky repository to the $GOPATH/src directory and installs the binaries to the $GOPATH/bin directory.

To make the binaries easily runnable from the command line, you need to add $GOPATH/bin (or ~/go/bin if $GOPATH is not set) to the $PATH environment variable. Add this to your ~/.bashrc file (or an equivalent of that for your shell):

# replace $GOPATH with /home/yourname/go if $GOPATH is not set up
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Now, one last thing. Funky uses the $FUNKY environment variable to identify the location of the standard library. Add this to your .bashrc file:

export FUNKY=$GOPATH/src/github.com/faiface/funky/stdlib

And that's it! Let's get ready for some action!
