Your feedback helps shape Cylium from the very beginning.

System Requirements

Cylium Сompiler 0.6.0 is available as precompiled binaries and has minimal system requirements.
(or compile it yourself for your system)

  • Windows: Windows 10 or newer (x86_64)
  • Linux: 64-bit systems with Linux kernel 3.10 or newer
  • macOS: Intel-based macOS (x86_64)
    Runs reliably on Apple Silicon via Rosetta 2

Executables compiled with the Cylium Compiler have minimal runtime requirements.
Since Cylium transpiles to standard C, the final system requirements depend on the C compiler used to build the generated source code.

Platform Notes

  • Windows: The Cylium Compiler distribution already includes a C compiler, so no additional software is required to build executables out of the box.
  • Linux: A C compiler such as GCC may need to be installed if it is not already available on your system.
  • macOS: Clang and the Apple Developer Command Line Tools are required to compile the generated C code.
