<p>If you think you meet the prerequisites,
send an email to <code translate="no" v-pre>blueloveth@foxmail.com</code> with the following information.</p>
<ol>
<li>A brief introduction about yourself, including the most related open sourced project you have worked on before. It is highly recommended to attach your Github profile link.</li>
<li>Your understanding of this project and why you are capable of completing it.</li>
<li>Your free time during the whole GSoC period (From 2026-03-01 to 2026-08-31).</li>

<span>Step 2</span>
</h3>
</doc-anchor-target>
<p>After you get a positive reply from us,
you need to complete 1~2 pull requests to pocketpy&#x27;s repository on GitHub.
This is mandatory as it demonstrates your coding skills and commitment to the project.
We will provide you a few good first issues to work on.</p>

<p>Once your pull requests are merged,
we will guide you to write a full proposal
for the project you are going to work on during GSoC 2026.
This proposal will be submitted to Google for review.</p>

<span>Build guide for pocketpy</span>
</h2>
</doc-anchor-target>
<p>First, you need to install these tools:</p>
<ol>
<li>Python(&gt;= 3.8), I am sure you already have it.</li>
<li>A C11 compiler, such as GCC, Clang or MSVC. If you are on Linux, <code translate="no" v-pre>gcc</code> is already installed. If you are on Windows, you can install Visual Studio with C/C++ development tools.</li>
<li>CMake(&gt;= 3.10), a cross-platform build tool. You can use <code translate="no" v-pre>pip install cmake</code> to install it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then, clone pocketpy sources from github and try to build:</p>
<div class="codeblock-wrapper"><doc-codeblock>
<pre translate="no" class="language-bash"><code v-pre class="language-bash">git clone https://github.com/pocketpy/pocketpy
cd pocketpy
python cmake_build.py</code></pre>
</doc-codeblock></div>
<p>If everything goes well, you will get a <code translate="no" v-pre>main</code> executable (<code translate="no" v-pre>main.exe</code> on Windows) in the root directory of pocketpy.
Simply run it and you will enter pocketpy&#x27;s REPL.</p>
<div class="codeblock-wrapper"><doc-codeblock>
<pre translate="no" class="language-none"><code v-pre class="language-none">pocketpy 2.1.7 (Jan 7 2026, 16:42:45) [64 bit] on darwin
