Install HLVM
HLVM is distributed as one self-contained executable. It includes the HLVM runtime, HQL integration, and the code required to connect to supported agent engines. It does not bundle Ollama, Python, model weights, or Chromium.
Public Release Installer
When the public release channel is enabled:
curl -fsSL https://hlvm.dev/install.sh | sh
hlvm --version
PowerShell:
irm https://hlvm.dev/install.ps1 | iex
hlvm --version
The installer downloads the matching release artifact, verifies its SHA-256
checksum, and installs only the hlvm executable. It does not install services
or dependencies.
Chromium is an optional browser-tool dependency and is downloaded lazily only when a browser task needs it. Shell tools use software already available in the user's environment.
Private Pre-release Build
The repositories remain private until the security, license, history, signing, and clean-machine release audit is complete. Authorized contributors can build:
mkdir hlvm-dev && cd hlvm-dev
git clone https://github.com/hlvm-dev/hql.git
git clone https://github.com/hlvm-dev/hlvm.git
cd hlvm
make build
./hlvm --version
See Build for platform-specific prerequisites.
