Three tools are required to build and run this program: plasm, acme, and plvm. The PLASMA compiler, plasm, will convert the PLASMA source code (usually with an extension on .pla) into an assembly language source file. acme, the portable 6502 assembler will convert the assembly source into a binary ready for loading. To execute the module, the PLASMA portable VM, plvm, can load and interpret the bytecode. The same binary can be loaded onto the target platform and run there with the appropriate VM. On Linux/Unix from the lawless-legens/PLASMA/src, the steps would be entered as:

A couple of things to note: plasm only accepts input from stdin and output to stdout. To build acme compatible module source, tha '-AM' flags must be passed in. The acme assembler needs the --setpc 4096 to assemble the module at the proper address, and the -o option sets the output file.
