Installation

To install Calcit, you first need to install Rust. Then, you can install Calcit using Rust's package manager:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

After installing Rust, install Calcit with:

cargo install calcit

Once installed, Calcit is available as a command-line tool. You can test it with:

cr eval "echo |done"

Several binaries are included:

cr: the main command-line tool for running Calcit programs
bundle_calcit: bundles Calcit code into a compact.cirru file
caps: downloads Calcit packages
cr-mcp: provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Calcit compact files
cr-sync: syncs changes from compact.cirru back to calcit.cirru

Another important command is ct, which is the "Calcit Editor" and is available in a separate repository.
