Install

You only need the atlantus binary. You do not need Rust, Cargo, or a clone of the framework to create apps and program in .atl.

Recommended: download the release binary

Current product version: 0.2.1
Primary asset (today): Linux x86_64

Option A — GitHub CLI (best for private releases)

gh auth login   # once, if needed
gh release download v0.2.1 \
  --repo atlantus-network/atlantuslanguage \
  --pattern 'atlantus-*' \
  --dir /tmp

chmod +x /tmp/atlantus-v0.2.1-linux-x86_64
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv /tmp/atlantus-v0.2.1-linux-x86_64 ~/.local/bin/atlantus
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

atlantus --version   # → atlantus 0.2.1

Option B — install script (no compile)

If you have the monorepo checked out or a copy of scripts/install-binary.sh:

./scripts/install-binary.sh --tag v0.2.1
# default install: ~/.local/bin/atlantus
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
atlantus --version

Private repo download uses gh or GH_TOKEN / ATL_GH_TOKEN.

Option C — manual from the Releases page

1. Open the release:
   https://github.com/atlantus-network/atlantuslanguage/releases/tag/v0.2.1
2. Download atlantus-v0.2.1-linux-x86_64
3. Install:

chmod +x atlantus-v0.2.1-linux-x86_64
sudo mv atlantus-v0.2.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/atlantus
# or: mv … ~/.local/bin/atlantus
atlantus --version

Verify

atlantus --help
atlantus --version

You should see a semver like atlantus 0.2.1.

Product cycle (after install)

atlantus new my-api  →  check  →  dev  →  start

Next: Getting started.

Platforms

Docker (optional)

If you prefer containers and never install a host binary, see Deploy.

Build from source (contributors only)

Compiling the CLI does require Rust. That path is for people who develop the runtime itself — not for application authors.

# requires rustup + cargo — contributors only
./scripts/install-from-git.sh --tag v0.2.1 --smoke

App developers should stay on the binary path above.
