Installing Gleam
Precompiled for Linux or macOS
The easiest way to install Gleam on Linux and Apple macOS is to download a prebuilt version of the compiler from the GitHub release page.
asdf version manager
asdf is a tool for installing and managing multiple version of programming languages at the same time. Install the asdf-gleam plugin to manage Gleam with asdf.
Arch Linux
Gleam is available through the Arch User Repository
as package gleam
. You can use your prefered helper
to install it or clone it for manual build from https://aur.archlinux.org/gleam.git.
Build from source
The compiler is written in the Rust programming language and so if you wish to build Gleam from source you will need to install the Rust compiler.
# Download the Gleam source code git repository
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/lpil/gleam.git --branch v0.2.0
cd gleam
# Build the Gleam compiler. This will take some time!
make install
# Verify the compiler is installed
# Prints "gleam $VERSION"
gleam --version
