Installation

Quick Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://macstudio.meme/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm macstudio.meme/install.ps1 | iex

On macOS/Linux this installs to ~/.mac/ with a symlink at ~/.local/bin/mac. On Windows it installs to %USERPROFILE%\.mac\ and adds it to your user PATH.

Supported Platforms

Updating

Run the install script again. It detects existing installations and updates in place.

Mac also checks for updates on startup (once per 24 hours) and prints a message if a newer version is available.

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/jona62/mac.git
cd mac
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
./build/mac --version

Requires CMake 3.20+ and a C++23 compiler.

Uninstall

mac --uninstall

Or without the binary installed:

curl -fsSL https://macstudio.meme/uninstall.sh | bash

Removes ~/.mac/ (binary, assets, stdlib), ~/.local/bin/mac (symlink), and ~/.mac_history (REPL history). Your generated output in ~/mac/output/ is kept by default.

To also remove generated output files:

mac --uninstall --purge
# or
curl -fsSL https://macstudio.meme/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --purge
