Installation

Prerequisites

Architect uses your existing Git installation, so you should have the git command on your PATH.

Using pre-built binaries

You can easily get pre-built binaries for Architect if you don't want to build it yourself.

Simply navigate to the Releases page on GitHub and download the latest binary for your platform.

Currently, the supported platforms are:

• Linux (x86_64, libc)
• Windows (x86_64)
• macOS (darwin)

After downloading the executable file simply place it or a link to it in your PATH and you're ready to go.

Don't forget to mark the file as executable if you're on Linux or macOS:

chmod +x architect

Building from source

If you're in the mood for some action, or you want to try the latest features before they appear in a release you can get the source from GitHub and build Architect yourself.

Fork it or get the source from the repository, and you're ready to go.

Make sure you've got at least Rust 2021 installed and the cargo command is available.

Building

cargo build --bin architect

This command should create an executable file in the target/debug directory, ready for use.

To create an optimized build add the --release flag to the command:

cargo build --release --bin architect

The executable file should then be located in the target/release directory.

Testing

cargo test --bin architect
