Install compiler binary

Cyrus provides prebuilt binaries for major platforms, available on our GitHub releases page.

1. Download the Latest Release

Head over to the releases page and grab the archive for your platform:

• Linux (x86_64 / ARM64)
• Windows (x86_64)
• MacOS (Intel / Apple Silicon)

2. Extract the Zip file

After downloading the release archive from GitHub releases, you need to extract it.

So you can run Cyrus from anywhere, move the binary to a directory in your PATH:

sudo mv cyrus /usr/local/bin

Cyrus requires access to its standard library. Copy it to a known location (e.g. ~/.cyrus_stdlib):

cp -r ./stdlib ~/.cyrus_stdlib

Then export the path in your shell config (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):

export CYRUS_STDLIB=~/.cyrus_stdlib

Apply the changes:

source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc

3. Verify the Installation

Check the compiler works:

cyrus version

Expected output:

Cyrus vX.Y.Z
