Install

marmot is built from source for now. There are no release binaries yet.

RequirementsCopy Anchor Link

marmot runs on macOS on Apple Silicon and on Linux on x86-64. Linux on arm64 builds but is not yet tested; Windows is not supported. See Support.

Build and installCopy Anchor Link

git clone https://github.com/Gaurav-Gosain/marmot
cd marmot
make            # the front end, the backend and the runtime
make test       # optional: the test suites
make install    # copies the compiler to ~/.marmot and links ~/.local/bin/marmot

make install copies the build, so rebuilding the source tree later does not change the installed compiler. PREFIX and BINDIR choose other places:

make install PREFIX=/opt/marmot BINDIR=/usr/local/bin

Check the installationCopy Anchor Link

marmot doctor

marmot doctor checks the code generator and runtime, the go command, LLVM, the system linker, the build cache and free disk, and says how output is chosen in this terminal. Every failed check comes with what to do about it.
