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.
terminal
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kablorp/blorp/main/scripts/install-dev | bash
Try it
terminal
~/.local/bin/blorp --version
C Compiler Requirement
The dev release installs the Blorp command. To compile and run Blorp programs, install clang, Blorp's default C compiler.
terminal
clang --version
Uninstallation
The dev install is just one binary. Remove that file when you no longer want the installed dev release.
terminal
rm -f "$HOME/.local/bin/blorp"
Build From Source
Source builds are mainly for compiler development. Install clang, curl, make, and git, then build from the repository. Local builds write bin/blorp in the repository root; use that binary for development commands instead of the installed dev release.
terminal
git clone https://github.com/kablorp/blorp.git
cd blorp
make
bin/blorp run examples/hello.brp
