Install

Amber compiler currently works on:

  • Linux x86 and ARM
  • macOS x86 and ARM (Apple Silicon)

macOS / Linux

Make sure that the operating system meets the following prerequisites

  • Bourne-again shell (Bash)
  • Curl tool for downloading the installation script
  • Basic calculator bc command (On Debian run sudo apt install bc)

system-wide install

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ph0enixKM/AmberNative/master/setup/install.sh" | $(echo /bin/bash)

local-user install

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ph0enixKM/AmberNative/master/setup/install.sh" | $(echo /bin/bash) -s -- --user

Via a package manager

Amber is packaged in the following distros:

Arch (AUR) - amber-bash-bin

Windows support

As windows does not come with bash installed it makes no sense to support it. Please install WSL 2 on your windows machine and install Linux version of Amber compiler inside.

In order for it to work you may need to run the following code that pulls all the prerequisites.

sudo apt install curl bc
sudo mkdir /opt /usr/local/bin

Contributing

In order to contribute, you have to add couple of build targets:

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin

And linkers (macos):

brew install messense/macos-cross-toolchains/aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
brew install messense/macos-cross-toolchains/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Finally in order to build

amber build.ab

Debugging Amber:

// Shows the AST
AMBER_DEBUG_PARSER=true cargo run <file.ab>
// Shows the time it took to compile each phase
AMBER_DEBUG_TIME=true cargo run <file.ab>

// Flamegraph is a profiling tool that is used to visualize the time each function took to execute
sudo cargo flamegraph -- <file.ab> <file.sh>
