popup

A toolchain manager for Pop Language. Downloads, installs, and manages Pop compiler and runtime distributions.

popup handles toolchain distribution independently from pop, the language and package command. It fetches verified release artifacts and detects the host platform to install the correct binary.

Installation

1. Build from source:

git clone git@github.com:poplanguage/popup
cd popup
shards install
shards build

2. Bootstrap script (Work In Progress)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poplanguage/popup/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash

Usage

popup install [version]

Install a Pop Lang toolchain. If no version is specified, the latest release is installed.

# Install the latest version
popup install

# Install a specific version
popup install v0.1.0

The installer:

• detects the host platform (architecture and OS)
• fetches the matching release artifact from the poplanguage/pop GitHub repository
• downloads the binary to the current directory
