install instructions

linux

use aur or run cargo install kalc

windows

download kalc.exe from https://github.com/bgkillas/kalc/releases/latest

needs a modern terminal like 'windows terminal' or alacritty, alacritty has better latency seemingly

for graphing install gnuplot via winget or sourceforge

macos

install developer tools via xcode-select --install

cargo install kalc

install gnuplot via brew install gnuplot

may need to run kalc from kalc 2> /dev/null for gnuplot not to output error messages

build instructions

if build fails due to gmp-mpfr-sys try changing the line features = ["force-cross"] to features = ["use-system-libs"] at the end of cargo.toml

linux

dependencys are: rust>=1.79.0, diffutils, gcc, m4, make

git clone https://github.com/bgkillas/kalc
cd kalc
cargo build --release
./target/release/kalc

windows

have cargo and the toolchain stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu installed

as per gmp-mpfr-sys

install MSYS2 using the installer

launch MSYS2 MinGW and run

pacman -Syu pacman-mirrors
pacman -S git diffutils m4 make mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
git clone https://github.com/bgkillas/kalc
cd kalc
mkdir /mnt
mount C: /mnt

if cargo is locally installed

/mnt/Users/$USER/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release
./target/release/kalc.exe

if cargo is globally installed

cargo build --release
./target/release/kalc.exe

then move kalc.exe wherever you want in /mnt (your C drive)

macos

as per gmp-mpfr-sys

assure the path upto your build path contains no spaces

install developer tools via xcode-select --install

git clone https://github.com/bgkillas/kalc
cd kalc
cargo build --release
./target/release/kalc
