Installation

Install the insty toolchain (compiler, cloud package manager, and language server).

The toolchain is three programs installed together: insty (the compiler + its standard library), cloud (the package manager / build tool), and insty-lsp (the language server).

One-line install

On macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://insty.land/install.sh | sh

On Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://insty.land/install.ps1 | iex

The installer places binaries under ~/.insty (or %LOCALAPPDATA%\insty on Windows) and adds ~/.insty/bin to your PATH. insty targets x86-64 only.

Editor support

Install the VS Code extension for highlighting, diagnostics, completion, and go-to-definition (powered by insty-lsp):

• VS Code Marketplace
• Open VSX

Build from source

Prefer building the toolchain yourself? Clone the compiler, cloud, and LSP repositories and run the source installer — see the toolchain repositories under the InstyLang organization.
