Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs01/ChadScript/main/install.sh | sh

This downloads a pre-built binary for your platform and installs it to ~/.chadscript/.

Prerequisites

None. Everything is bundled in the compiler — just install and go.

On some Linux systems, programs that use networking or crypto may need common system libraries (libcurl, openssl) which are typically pre-installed. macOS includes them by default.

macOS Gatekeeper: If you get a quarantine warning on the downloaded binary:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/.chadscript/chad

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/cs01/ChadScript && cd ChadScript
npm install
bash scripts/build-vendor.sh
npm run build

This produces dist/chad-node.js. Use it directly:

node dist/chad-node.js build hello.ts -o hello

See BUILDING.md for full instructions including native compiler setup and cross-compilation.
