Get Tinoc
v0.1.0 is released. Install the latest release binary into ~/.tinoc — no root needed — and start transpiling to C11.
SHA256SUMS manifest, track versions, and ask before upgrading.
One command, any platform
The installers are companions to build.sh / build.ps1 — they fetch the latest release from GitHub, verify it, and extract it into ~/.tinoc/ (or $TINOC_HOME).
macOS & Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinoc-lang/tinoc/main/install.sh | bashDetects your OS/architecture and installs the matching binary. Offers to add ~/.tinoc/bin to your PATH.
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinoc-lang/tinoc/main/install.ps1 | iexinstall.ps1 is fully cross-platform: it detects the OS/architecture just like install.sh, so it works on macOS/Linux with PowerShell 7+ as well as Windows.
Verified, versioned, updatable
The installers are built for careful systems programmers.
Verified downloads
Every release ships a SHA256SUMS manifest. The installer fetches it from GitHub and verifies the binary before extracting.
Version tracking
A VERSION file sits next to the install. Re-running the installer checks for updates and asks before upgrading.
No root needed
Everything installs into ~/.tinoc (or $TINOC_HOME). The installer offers to add ~/.tinoc/bin to your PATH.
Build from source
--local builds from source with ./build.sh build (or ./build.ps1 build) and installs the local binary instead of downloading.
Installer options
Run install.sh --help for the full list.
| Flag | What it does |
|---|---|
--check | Compare the installed version against the latest release without installing. |
--uninstall | Remove Tinoc from ~/.tinoc. |
--version 0.1.0 | Install a specific release instead of the latest. |
--force / --yes | Skip prompts and reinstall over an identical installed version. |
--dir <path> | Override the install directory. |
--local | Build from source and install the local binary. |
--verbose | Print the download/fetch commands the installer runs. |
What your system will need
Only the tools C developers already use.
A C11 compiler
GCC, Clang, or MSVC. Tinoc emits standards-compliant C11, so the C compiler is the only system dependency at build time.
The tinoc CLI
A single binary with build, run, and check subcommands, plus tinoc version / tinoc help.
tinoc.h
One small C11 runtime header embedded in the compiler. It defines str, slices, optionals, and saturating arithmetic via _Generic.
Write, compile, run.
A hello world is three commands: write, build, run. The emitted C11 is
yours to inspect, audit, and commit — tinoc run
leaves no binaries behind.
$ tinoc run main.tnc
