The core Visi language interpreter is OS independent. The test suite is a combination of tests that are hard-coded and the second half of the tests are defined in the wiki pages (yes, the language definition pages) are also used as test pages.
You must have GHC 7.x and Cabal installed. Download Haskell. You must also have Git installed to get the source code.
Clone the Visi language (https://github.com/visi-lang/visi.git) and Visi Wiki (https://github.com/visi-lang/visi.wiki.git) repositories:
raptor:tmp dpp$ git clone https://github.com/visi-lang/visi.git

and then run the tests like so:

To build the OS X UI (the code is not complete, but will be soon), you'll need to install Xcode 4.2 or 4.3 (4.3 tends to crash a lot, so I use 4.2.1). With Haskell 7.4.1 installed, you should be able to open the Xcode project and click "Run".
The iPad UI front end to Visi requires Xcode 3.2.5, GHC-iPhone, and some other Gnarly things. I have a special partition on my Mac that boots into 10.6 just to run the iPad build code. Once the GHC-iPhone is integrated into the main Haskell distribution, I'll circle back and update the iOS code.
