If you don’t want to deal with building it yourself, go to github CI (click on the latest succesful run to get a list of binaries at the bottom). These are 64-bit for all platforms.
Note: if you’re NOT seeing a list of artifacts at the bottom of each run, that may be because you’re not logged in to github.
Now get https://github.com/aardappel/lobster (download zip). This has
all the data files and examples. Place the binary you obtained in
bin folder of the repo (not /bin).
There may occasionally be builds on
https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/releases
(lobster_<date>_<platform>.zip and
Source code (zip)), but these are usually way behind using
the most recent builds above, so not recommended.
Pre-Requirements: Git, CMake, a C++17 compiler, Mesa dev files
(apt-get install mesa-common-dev).
git clone https://github.com/aardappel/lobster.git
cd lobster/dev
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j8
cd ..
bin/lobster samples/pythtree.lobsterPre-Requirements: VS2022 Community edition or better, C++ desktop tools installed.
Get https://github.com/aardappel/lobster using your favorite git tool
(best), or just download a .zip from there otherwise.
Open dev\lobster\lobster.sln, ensure
Release is selected in the top bar,
Build -> Build Solution, then close if no errors.
Pre-Requirements: Latest XCode. Command-line CMake build not currently supported.
Get https://github.com/aardappel/lobster using your favorite git tool
(best), or just download a .zip otherwise.
Open dev/xcode/lobster/lobster.xcodeproj, ensure
lobster_release > My Mac is selected as scheme in the
top bar, Product -> Build, then close if no errors.
You now have a lobster executable in your
bin folder. You can run this with any Lobster file as
argument to run it, for example
bin/lobster.exe samples/pythtree.lobster should work.
