Installing Zmeu

Public binary releases and the curl | sh installer are pending while the release pipeline is finalised. Until those exist, build the compiler from source.

From source

Clone the repository and follow the build instructions in its README:

git clone https://github.com/yxanul/zmeu
cd zmeu
# build steps: see the repo README

The compiler is implemented in Rust and lowers Zmeu source through CFG MIR and MLIR before reaching LLVM. The README is the source of truth for the current build invocation.

Toolchain requirements

You’ll need a recent LLVM + MLIR install (matching the version pinned in the repository), a working clang, and a Rust toolchain to build the front end. Linux is the primary development platform; macOS and FreeBSD support is on the roadmap.

Reporting issues

File issues in the Zmeu repository. For language design questions, see the design notes under docs/ in the repo.
