Getting Started

1. Ensure you have the GCC compiler installed on your machine.

$ gcc -v

2. Ensure Python version 3 is installed on your machine.

$ python -V

3. Create the executable for the VM:

$ gcc lc3.c -o lc3-vm

4. Use an LC-3 assembler written in Python to assemble an Assembly program (e.g., 2048.asm).

$ python3 lc3-nasm.py 2048.asm

5. Run the executable with the machine code object file to test the VM.

$ ./lc3-vm 2048.obj
