Installation

You can choose from three installation methods. Please navigate to the one you prefer via the tabs below.

Static binary

You can download a self-contained binary from https://github.com/Kharacternyk/klunok/releases/latest/download/klunok. You can also browse past releases at https://github.com/Kharacternyk/klunok/releases.

Once the file is downloaded, mark it as executable:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/klunok

Also, you can copy the binary to somewhere in you $PATH, for example:

sudo cp ~/Downloads/klunok /bin/

If you skip this step, do not forget to specify the full path to the binary when invoking Klunok, for example ~/Downloads/klunok.

The binaries should work on all x86-64 Linux systems. They will not work on architectures other than x86-64, for example ARM on Raspberry Pi or 32-bit x86. Please use alternative installation methods for other architectures.

The binaries are reproducible.

Nix flake

You can install Klunok with a flake-enabled version of the Nix package manager:

nix profile install github:Kharacternyk/klunok/v1

Avoid installing github:Kharacternyk/klunok (without a version tag), as this is the development version that is more likely to have bugs. Instead use github:Kharacternyk/klunok/v1 for the latest stable version.

From source

Installing from source requires a C compiler and the Meson build system. Meson also depends on the Ninja build system. You can install them, for example, with apt:

sudo apt install gcc meson ninja-build

The version of Meson installed with apt may not be new enough to build Klunok. In this case, you can install Meson with pip:

sudo apt install pip
sudo pip install meson

Lua is an optional but recommended dependency. It allows configuring Klunok without recompiling it. Klunok should work with Lua version 5.2 or newer. Installing Lua with apt looks like this:

sudo apt install lua5.4

Once the dependencies are installed, get the source from GitHub and install Klunok with Meson. The whole process may look like this:

git clone https://github.com/Kharacternyk/klunok
cd klunok
git checkout v1
meson setup build -Dbuildtype=release
cd build
sudo meson install
