Download

Debian-derived (Ubuntu, etc.) (x64)

crow-x64.deb

			cd ~/Downloads
			
			sudo dpkg --install crow-x64.deb

To uninstall: sudo dpkg --remove crow

Any Linux (x64)

crow-linux-x64.tar.xz

First ensure libunwind-dev is installed. Then:

Global install (recommended)

			cd ~/Downloads
			
			sudo tar -xJf crow-linux-x64.tar.xz -C /usr/local/bin bin --strip-components 1
			
			sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/crow
			
			sudo tar -xJf crow-linux-x64.tar.xz -C /usr/local/include/crow include --strip-components 1

To uninstall: sudo rm -r /usr/local/bin/crow /usr/local/include/crow

Local install

			tar --extract --xz --file crow-linux-64.tar.xz
			export PATH="$PATH:~/Downloads/crow"
		

To uninstall: rm -r ~/Downloads/crow

Windows (x64)

crow-windows-x64.tar.xz

			mkdir C:\crow
			
			tar --extract -xJf crow-windows-x64.tar.xz -C C:\crow

(C:\crow is a suggestion; you can install it anywhere.)
Then add C:\crow\bin to your PATH. (How to do that)

To uninstall: rmdir /s /q C:\crow

Other

If you'd like to see a new system supported, create an issue.

Once it's installed, test it out on some demos:

Demos (optional) crow-demo.tar.xz crow-demo-windows.tar.xz

			cd ~/Downloads
			
			tar -xJf crow-demo.tar.xz
			
			crow crow-demo/hello.crow
			
			# To see other demos
			
			dir crow-demo

To be able to run all demos, install:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsndfile1-dev libsodium-dev libsqlite3-dev.
For Windows, these are included in crow-demo\extern and will be picked up automatically.

Crow supports IDE features: syntax highlighting, diagnostics, go-to-definition, references, and renaming.

VSCode crow.vsix

code --install-extension crow.vsix

Sublime text crow.sublime-syntax

Linux: bash -llc 'ln -s `pwd`/crow/editor/crow.sublime-syntax ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User/crow.sublime-syntax'
Windows: copy %CD%\crow\editor\crow.sublime-syntax "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User\crow.sublime-syntax"

Then restart Sublime Text and open a Crow file. In the lower-right corner, click "Plain text" and change it to "Crow".

LSP support

There is no download for this. It uses the crow you already installed.
Install package control, then install the LSP plugin.
In the top menu, open Preferences → Package settings → LSP → Settings.
In the "clients" section, paste:

"crow": {
	"command": ["/usr/local/bin/crow", "lsp"],
	"enabled": true,
	"languageId": "crow",
	"scopes": ["source.crow"],
	"syntaxes": "Packages/crow/crow.sublime-syntax"
}

You should now be able to see diagnostics (try calling a nonexistent function). For other actions, right click and use the "LSP" menu. If there seems to be an issue, debug with the "LSP: Toggle Log Panel" command.
