The Gram Programming Language

Gram is a programming language for distributed systems.

Installation instructions

Installation on macOS or Linux (AArch64 or x86-64)

If you're running macOS or Linux (AArch64 or x86-64), you can install Gram with this command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramlang/gram/main/install.sh -LSfs | sh

The same command can be used again to update to the latest version.

The installation script supports the following optional environment variables:

• VERSION=x.y.z (defaults to the latest version)
• PREFIX=/path/to/install (defaults to /usr/local/bin)

For example, the following will install Gram into the working directory:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramlang/gram/main/install.sh -LSfs | PREFIX=. sh

If you prefer not to use this installation method, you can download the binary from the releases page, make it executable (e.g., with chmod), and place it in some directory in your PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin).

Installation on Windows (AArch64 or x86-64)

If you're running Windows (AArch64 or x86-64), download the latest binary from the releases page and rename it to gram (or gram.exe if you have file extensions visible). Create a directory called Gram in your %PROGRAMFILES% directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Gram), and place the renamed binary in there. Then, in the "Advanced" tab of the "System Properties" section of Control Panel, click on "Environment Variables..." and add the full path to the new Gram directory to the PATH variable under "System variables". Note that the Program Files directory might have a different name if Windows is configured for a language other than English.

To update an existing installation, simply replace the existing binary.

Installation with Cargo

If you have Cargo, you can install Gram as follows:

cargo install gram

You can run that command with --force to update an existing installation.
