macOS (Darwin) builds for arm64 should support the ARM-based M1 processor. However please treat these builds as experimental. If you do run into any issues then log them at github.com/lmorg/murex/issues and use the amd64 builds in the meantime.
Please download the appropriate .gz file from the list above, one that
matches both your OS and CPU architecture.
For example, to download a 64bit version for Linux:
wget https://murex.rocks/bin/latest/murex-linux-amd64.gz
gunzip murex-linux-amd64.gz
chmod +x murex-linux-amd64
./murex-linux-amd64
macOS builds are listed as darwin as per the name of Apple have given to their underlying OS.
Most of these builds have received some level of user acceptance testing with Linux and macOS builds receiving the most attention, because that's what we use ourselves.
Click the Windows link that matches your CPU architecture. Unzip using your preferred too then launch using your preferred console. murex cannot be started via double clicking the executable -- it requires a starting from within an existing console session.
Please also note that Windows support is also considered experimental. In part
due to the lack of coreutils (as seen on Linux and UNIX) and in part due to
the different underpinning technologies behind consoles / terminal emulators.
If you do experience some wonky behavior then our recommendation is to run the
linux-amd64 build for Linux on top of WSL. The instructions above will guide
you through installing on Linux, WSL install instructions can be found at the
following site: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
Plan9 is untested. The code compiles and it is syscall compatible with Plan9 operating systems, however you may experience bugs using murex on Plan9. If you do encounter any issues then please raise them at: github.com/lmorg/murex/issues
