Generally, most scripts are written in Script Editor documents. Scripts can also be written in Xcode, but this is typically for scripts that require advanced user interfaces.

1. Launch Script Editor in /Applications/Utilities/.

2. If the script isn’t configured for the correct language, choose the language in the navigation bar.

   Tip

   If you always use the same language, set it as the default language in the General pane of Script Editor preferences. See General Preferences.

3. Write your script code in the editing area. Newly written code is uncompiled and formatted as new text.

4. Click the Compile button () to compile the script and check for syntax errors.

   If a syntax error occurs, an alert is displayed.

   If the script compiles, code formatting is applied at this time.
