Backends
Download the compiler, then build locally
Chelis ships prebuilt compiler artifacts by host platform. Install the
compiler artifact, put the binary on your path, and use
chelis build to emit the local backend source you need.
Prebuilt compiler artifacts
Pick the artifact for the machine where you run the compiler. The build
target is selected later, when invoking chelis build.
macOS arm64
chelis-<version>-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
Other hosts
Build the compiler from source, then use the same chelis build flow.
Install from a release artifact
Release assets are archived compiler builds. Unpack the matching
artifact and add the bundled binary directory to PATH.
gh release download --repo Chelis-Lang/chelis --pattern 'chelis-*-linux-x86_64.tar.gz'
tar -xzf chelis-*-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
export PATH="$PWD/chelis/bin:$PATH"Build targets
A Chelis source file can be built to C, HIP, or Metal. The compiler emits source and runtime artifacts for the selected target; local native toolchains handle the final platform-specific compile step.
C
CPU
Portable C output for local native compilation and reference runs.
HIP
AMD GPU
HIP source for AMD accelerator builds.
Metal
Apple GPU
Metal source for Apple Silicon builds.
