You can get a simple REPL by simply typing `./pyston`; it is not very robust right now, and only supports single-line statements, but can give you an interactive view into how Pyston works. To get more functionality, you can do `./pyston -i [your_source_file.py]`, which will go into the REPL after executing the given file, letting you access all the variables you had defined.
To run the tests, run `make test`. Currently not all the tests pass, which will hopefully be fixed soon.
