Installation

This section details how to get yk up and running.

System Requirements

At the time of writing, yk requires the following:

• Linux running on an x64 CPU.

• A Yk-enabled programming language interpreter.

• A recent nightly install of Rust.

Building

Clone the main yk repository and build it with cargo:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/ykjit/yk/
$ cd yk
$ cargo build --release

Note that this will also clone ykllvm as a submodule of yk. If you later want access to the full git history, either remove --depth 1 or run git fetch --unshallow.
