Atlas 77

Install

Atlas 77 is distributed via cargo. Make sure you have the Rust toolchain (including cargo) installed — see Rust installation.

Once Rust is installed, install Atlas 77 from crates.io:

cargo install atlas_77

There is currently no installer script; use the Rust toolchain to install and update Atlas 77.

Alternatively, you can compile Atlas 77 from source directly on GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/atlas77-lang/Atlas77.git
cd Atlas77
cargo build --release
# the built binary will be at target/release/atlas_77

Copy the release binary into a folder on your PATH (for example /usr/local/bin) or run it from target/release.

Quick start

Create a new project and build:

atlas_77 init my-project
cd my-project
atlas_77 build
