Pre-built Binaries
Venator automatically produces binaries at specific stages of the development lifecycle:
CI runs are built with every commit, every pull request, and every release, but their artefacts only survive a few months at most for storage reasons. This is the easiest way, however, to get bleeding-edge copies of Venator without compiling it yourself.
To download a CI artefact, go to the link, click on the version you want to download (usually tagged dev), and on the
left hand side of the page there will be to links for you to chose from.
Please note that CI artefacts are zipped when downloaded - you will first need to unzip them before you can get the
binary within. Releases, however, are not, and will provide you directly with an executable binary.
Make sure you select the correct binary by checking the output of uname -m:
| Output | Version |
|---|---|
x86_64 | AMD64 |
aarch64 | ARM64 |
Other architectures may work, but are not built in CI, nor tested. Downloading the wrong binary will result in
an error message like exec format error: ./venator-arm64 when you try to run it.
