Installer / x07up

X07’s canonical installer is x07up (toolchain manager).

The bootstrap script (install.sh) installs x07up, then x07up installs the selected toolchain and sets up ~/.x07/bin/ shims. On Windows, run the bootstrap inside WSL2.

Quickstart: see Install.

Prerequisites​

  • macOS / Linux: sh, tar, and either curl or wget (plus a sha256 tool: sha256sum, shasum, or openssl)
  • For compiling/running X07 programs: a C toolchain (x07up doctor --json reports missing deps)
  • Linux: libcurl development headers for packages that link libcurl (for example ext-curl-c)

One-command install​

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://x07lang.org/install.sh | sh -s -- --yes --channel stable

Then (in the same shell session):

export PATH="$HOME/.x07/bin:$PATH"

Windows (WSL2):

X07 does not currently publish native Windows toolchains. Install and run X07 inside WSL2 (Ubuntu recommended) and use the macOS / Linux installer command above.

CI / agent mode (deterministic + machine-clean)​

In CI, avoid modifying shell profiles and emit a single JSON report:

curl -fsSL https://x07lang.org/install.sh | sh -s -- \
  --yes \
  --channel stable \
  --no-modify-path \
  --json

Toolchain selection (deterministic precedence)​

x07up selects the active toolchain in this order:

  1. X07UP_TOOLCHAIN environment variable
  2. x07-toolchain.toml found by walking up directories
  3. global default from ~/.x07/config.json
  4. fallback: stable (but x07up never auto-installs; you must run x07up install)

Pinning per project​

Write x07-toolchain.toml:

x07up override set v0.1.35

This writes a file like:

[toolchain]
channel = "v0.1.35"
components = ["docs", "skills"]

Notes:

  • channel can be stable or a specific tag like v0.1.35.
  • components controls whether x07up installs the offline docs and skills pack.

Remove it:

x07up override unset

Agent kit (offline docs + skills + project rails)​

  • Offline docs path: x07up docs path --json
  • Skills install:
    • user-scoped: x07up skills install --user
    • project-scoped: x07up skills install --project .
  • Canonical project start (creates AGENT.md, pins the toolchain, and installs project-scoped skills): x07 init

See also: Available skills.

If you’re stuck​

Run:

x07up doctor --json

It reports missing prerequisites and broken toolchain layout in a machine-readable way.
