Installation

Flint does not have formal release packages yet.

For now, installation is best understood as “build the compiler from source”. This section will later become the place for binary installers, package manager instructions, and platform-specific setup once releases exist.

Current State

Today, the practical path is:

cargo build
cargo test

That builds the compiler workspace and runs the current test suite.

Future Direction

This page is intentionally a stub for now. When Flint starts shipping releases, this chapter should cover:

• prebuilt compiler downloads,
• checksums and signatures,
• supported host platforms,
• upgrade instructions,
• and the minimum setup needed to build for supported targets.

The long-term goal is for installation to stay small and predictable.
