Installing Flix

Prerequisites: Java

Brew (macOS and Linux)

The recommended way to install Flix on both macOS and Linux is via the flix/tools tap for Homebrew (other ways to install):

brew install flix/tools/flix

🤔 Note: I’m suggesting that we follow Clojure’s lead and create our own Homebrew Tap so that we can have complete control.

🤔 Note: Decide on what the right approach for Windows is. Probably winget, but we could also create an installer package or use Scoop?

You can check to see what version of Flix you have installed with the command flix --version which should output:

% flix --version
The Flix Programming Language v0.32.0
