Installation

Whim supports macOS on x86-64 and Arm64. It also supports glibc-based Linux on x86-64, Arm64, and RISC-V 64. Run it through the whim command.

Shell installer

Install the latest release on macOS or Linux:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://carthage.software/whim.sh | bash

Pass a version to install a specific release:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://carthage.software/whim.sh | bash -s -- --version=0.1.0

The installer verifies build attestations when a compatible GitHub CLI is available.

Note: Release 0.1.0 has no attestation.

Download the archive for your system from GitHub Releases. Put the whim file in a directory on your PATH. Then check it:

whim --version

The image at ghcr.io/carthage-software/whim supports amd64, arm64, and RISC-V 64. Mount a project and pass its entry file:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/app" ghcr.io/carthage-software/whim:latest main.whim

Each release publishes latest, the full version, and the major-minor version.

Install Rust 1.98 or later. From the repository root, run:

cargo build --locked --release

The build produces the whim executable at target/release/whim.

Whim source files use .whim. Compiled artifacts use .whia.
