installing zig

brew install zig  # unix

choco install zig # win

That should be it!


zig version

Building Zig from Source


Building the entire toolchain from source is also very straightforward.


LLVM is the only main dependency so the toolchain should already exist on most systems.


the advantage of using LLVM directly is being able to compile to WASM and C directly


System Prereqs

# confirm 
brew install llvm
brew install cmake
brew install zstd
brew install mysql
brew install openssl

Steps to build the compiler which is the only dependency required to build for any platform


git clone [email protected]:ziglang/zig.git

cd zig
mkdir build
cd build

# for windows and linux
cmake ..

# for macos
cmake .. -DZIG_STATIC_LLVM=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix llvm);$(brew --prefix zstd)"

make install

# binary in stage3/bin/zig

cd stage3/bin

zig version # 0.12.0-dev.1856+94c63f31f (latest master)
