Installation

Quick Install

The fastest way to install Haira on macOS or Linux:

curl -sSL https://haira.dev/install.sh | bash

This downloads the latest release, verifies the checksum, and installs the haira binary to ~/.local/bin. The runtime is embedded in the compiler binary — no separate runtime installation needed.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.22+ — Haira compiles to Go, so you need Go installed
• macOS or Linux — Windows support is experimental

Verify Installation

haira --version
