Installation

The RUDRA toolchain ships as downloadable release assets. The current 1.1.0 release is the self-hosted toolchain and targets Linux x86-64 only. The earlier 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 releases were a different, Rust-based toolchain and are not current.

Available builds

macOS and Windows are not supported by 1.1.0.

Linux (x86-64) tarball

tar -xzf rudra-1.1.0-selfhost-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd rudra-1.1.0-selfhost-linux-x86_64 && ./install.sh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

The archive contains bin/ruxc (the compiler), bin/rudra (a POSIX shell wrapper), install.sh, uninstall.sh, the 68-module std library under lib/rudra/std, lib/rudra/compiler/tokens.rux and share/rudra/examples/hello.rux. The installer places ruxc and rudra under ~/.local by default. Ensure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH.

Debian / Ubuntu package

sudo dpkg -i rudra-1.1.0-selfhost-amd64.deb

The package installs /usr/bin/ruxc, /usr/bin/rudra and the std library in /usr/lib/rudra/std.

Check the install

There is no version subcommand in this release. To confirm the install works, compile and run the bundled example:

ruxc share/rudra/examples/hello.rux hello && ./hello
