There are currently two ways to get started with Ligo. You can choose to use a Docker image, or to install packages for your Debian Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
## Dockerized installation (recommended)
|
|
|
|
> 🐳 You can find instructions on how to install Docker [here](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
|
|
|
|
It's easiest to use LIGO through one of its Docker images. You have two options:
|
|
* Use our installation script to set up a globally available LIGO
|
|
executable (see below). This manages the Docker bits for you.
|
|
* Use the Docker image available at [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/ligolang/ligo).
|
|
This lets you run multiple versions and keep your installation(s) self contained, but requires more familiarity with Docker.
|
|
|
|
Sources for the image can be found on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/ligolang/ligo/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile).
|
|
If this is your first time using Docker, you probably want to set up a global LIGO executable as shown below.
|
|
|
|
### Setting up a globally available `ligo` executable
|
|
|
|
> You can install additional ligo versions by replacing `next` with the desired version number
|
|
|
|
Download the latest binaries here: https://gitlab.com/ligolang/ligo/pipelines/85536879/builds or get the latest pre-release:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
# next (pre-release)
|
|
curl https://gitlab.com/ligolang/ligo/raw/dev/scripts/installer.sh | bash -s "next"
|
|
```
|
|
<!--
|
|
```
|
|
# e.g. 1.0.0 (stable)
|
|
curl https://gitlab.com/ligolang/ligo/raw/master/scripts/installer.sh | bash -s "1.0.0"
|
|
```
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
**Verify your ligo installation by running:**
|
|
```zsh
|
|
ligo --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Static Linux binary
|
|
|
|
The `ligo` executable is statically linked. It should run on most modern Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
To use it, get it [here](/bin/linux/ligo), make it executable, you're done!
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
wget https://ligolang.org/bin/linux/ligo
|
|
chmod +x ./ligo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can put it somewhere in your `PATH` for easy access:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
sudo cp ./ligo /usr/local/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debian Linux package installation
|
|
|
|
A `.deb` package containing the static `ligo` executable is also available.
|
|
First download [the package](/deb/ligo.deb), and then install using:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
sudo apt install ./ligo.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Release schedule
|
|
|
|
Important: LIGO is currently being released on a rolling release schedule. This means that you always get the latest development features. You can find our [rolling builds at the CI](https://gitlab.com/ligolang/ligo/pipelines).
