v3389.1.2

Quick install

Linux x64/arm64 and macOS arm64:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NeverSight/NeverC/v3389.1.2/install.sh | NEVERC_VERSION=v3389.1.2 sh

The command is pinned to this release tag. The installer verifies the downloaded archive against the release's SHA256SUMS before changing the install prefix.

Windows x64 and arm64 packages are available as release assets for manual installation.

Choosing a download

Choose the compiler package for the machine that will run NeverC. A runtime package describes the target platform that NeverC will generate code for, not the host platform running the compiler.

Host platform	Recommended package
Linux x86_64	neverc-linux-x64.zip
Linux arm64	neverc-linux-arm64.zip
macOS Apple Silicon	neverc-macos-arm64.zip
Windows x86_64	windows-x64-neverc-release.zip
Windows arm64	windows-arm64-neverc-release.zip

Package types

Asset pattern	Description
neverc-<os>-<arch>.zip	Recommended lightweight package used by install.sh. It contains the compiler, required headers and libraries, and the NeverC Plugin SDK. Target runtimes are installed on demand.
<os>-<arch>-neverc.zip	Full offline package for Linux or macOS. It contains the complete CMake installation tree, including bundled runtime resources.
windows-<arch>-neverc-release.zip	Complete Windows distribution for manual installation.
neverc-runtime-<target>.zip	Cross-compilation runtime only. It does not contain the NeverC compiler. Install it through neverc runtime install instead of extracting it manually.
SHA256SUMS	SHA-256 checksums for all custom release ZIP files.
Source code archives	GitHub-generated source snapshots for users who want to build NeverC from source. They do not contain prebuilt NeverC binaries.

The larger linux-<arch>-neverc.zip and macos-arm64-neverc.zip archives are intended for complete offline installations. For a normal online installation, use install.sh or the smaller neverc-<os>-<arch>.zip package.

macOS

The macOS arm64 binaries are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Cross-compilation runtimes

Runtime sysroots are installed on demand:

neverc runtime install windows-x64
neverc runtime list

Runtime target	Purpose
windows-x64	Windows x86_64 SDK, MSVC CRT headers, and libraries
windows-arm64	Windows arm64 SDK, MSVC CRT headers, and libraries
linux-x64	Ubuntu 22.04 Linux x86_64 sysroot
linux-arm64	Linux arm64 sysroot
macos-arm64	macOS 14 arm64 sysroot
android-arm64	Android arm64 user-space sysroot based on NDK r26c, API 21 or later
android-kernel-arm64	Minimal Android kernel module headers and NeverC kernel SDK for kernel driver mode

For example, to cross-compile from macOS arm64 to Windows x86_64, install the macOS arm64 compiler package and then run:

neverc runtime install windows-x64
