Releases

Tagged releases publish binaries on GitHub Releases.

Linux and macOS releases also ship ReqPack .rqp assets plus index.json.

Docker

Container images are published to GHCR for Linux x86_64 and aarch64:

docker pull ghcr.io/coditary/prebyte:latest
docker run --rm ghcr.io/coditary/prebyte:latest -h
cat input.txt | docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/coditary/prebyte:latest

Build from source

Requirements:

1. CMake >= 3.31
2. C++23 compiler
3. Ninja or Visual Studio build tools
4. Lua development package

CMake fetches prebyte-engine from GitHub at configure time. For co-development, place a local engine checkout at ../prebyte-engine.

cmake --preset dev
cmake --build --preset dev
ctest --preset dev

make is a convenience wrapper on Unix-like shells:

make          # full local QA suite
make start    # build CLI only
make test     # quick test run

Override engine source:

cmake -DPREBYTE_ENGINE_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/prebyte-engine ...
cmake -DPREBYTE_ENGINE_GIT_TAG=v1.1.1 -DPREBYTE_ENGINE_PREFER_LOCAL_SOURCE=OFF ...

ReqPack

Build a current-host ReqPack package on Linux or macOS:

make reqpack

Output is written to dist/, including .rqp and index.json.
