Download Prebuilt Binaries#

Download the binaries by navigating to https://github.com/remitano/renec/releases/latest, download renec-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-msvc.tar.bz2, then extract the archive:

tar jxf renec-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
cd renec-release/
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH

Build From Source#

If you are unable to use the prebuilt binaries or prefer to build it yourself from source, navigate to https://github.com/remitano/renec/releases/latest, and download the Source Code archive. Extract the code and build the binaries with:

./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh .
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH

You can then run the following command to obtain the same result as with prebuilt binaries:

renec-install init
