Installation

You can install MerKurio in several ways, depending on your system and whether you have Rust installed.

1. Precompiled Binaries (No Rust Needed)
2. Install via Cargo (Requires Rust)
3. Build Manually Without Installing (Requires Rust)

After installation, verify if it works by running:

merkurio --help

Or, if you didn’t add it to your PATH:

./path/to/merkurio --help

Option 1: Precompiled Binaries (No Rust Needed)

Download a binary for Linux, Windows, or macOS from the releases page, then extract the archive:

tar -xzf path/to/release.tar.gz

On Linux/macOS, make it executable if needed:

chmod u+x path/to/merkurio

The merkurio-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl is compatible with a wider range of systems but can have worse performance.

Option 2: Install via Cargo (Requires Rust)

If you have Rust installed (edition 2024), the easiest way is:

cargo install merkurio

This pulls the latest version from crates.io.

To install a tagged release from GitHub:

cargo install --git https://github.com/lschoenm/MerKurio --tag vX.X.X

Option 3: Build Manually Without Installing (Requires Rust)

git clone https://github.com/lschoenm/MerKurio
cd MerKurio
cargo build --release

The binary will be in target/release/.
