Install Amalgame

Three ways to install the amc compiler depending on your system.

Latest stable version: v0.4.2 (see all releases)

Pre-built binary

The fastest. Download the archive matching your OS, extract, and place amc in your PATH.

Build from source

If you want to bootstrap yourself or if no binary is available for your OS.

Linux

sudo apt install gcc libgc-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/amalgame-lang/Amalgame.git && cd Amalgame
gcc -O2 -Iruntime snapshot/amc_lib.c -lgc -lm -lcurl -o snapshot/amc
./build_amc.sh
./amc --version

macOS

brew install bdw-gc curl
git clone https://github.com/amalgame-lang/Amalgame.git && cd Amalgame
GC_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix bdw-gc)
CURL_PREFIX=$(brew --prefix curl)
gcc -O2 -Iruntime -I"$GC_PREFIX/include" -I"$CURL_PREFIX/include" \
    -L"$GC_PREFIX/lib" -L"$CURL_PREFIX/lib" \
    snapshot/amc_lib.c -lgc -lm -lcurl -o amc
./amc --version

Windows (MSYS2 MINGW64)

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gc mingw-w64-x86_64-curl
