Installation
Install the latest dev release, verify the binary, and keep source builds for compiler development.
Install The Dev Release
The easiest way to try Blorp is the latest dev release. The installer downloads the matching binary for your system and writes one executable to ~/.local/bin/blorp.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kablorp/blorp/main/scripts/install-dev | bash
Try it
~/.local/bin/blorp --version
C Compiler Requirement
The dev release installs the Blorp command. To compile and run Blorp programs, you still need a C compiler such as clang or gcc.
cc --version
Uninstallation
The dev install is just one binary. Remove that file when you no longer want the installed dev release.
rm -f "$HOME/.local/bin/blorp"
Build From Source
Source builds are mainly for compiler development. Install OCaml 4.14.x, dune, menhir, make, git, and a C compiler, then build from the repository. Local builds write ./blorp in the repository root; use that local binary for development commands instead of the installed dev release.
git clone https://github.com/kablorp/blorp.git
cd blorp
make
./blorp run examples/hello.brp
