Install on OpenBSD
OpenBSD includes the Crystal compiler in the ports tree, starting from version OpenBSD 6.4.
Currently, it is only available for the amd64
platform.
Install Package
Crystal is available as a compiled package. However, it might not be the most recent version available. The package also includes shards
.
doas pkg_add crystal
Install Port
For building Crystal yourself, the required installation is available in the ports tree.
If the ports collection is not already installed, instructions to installing it can be found in the OpenBSD Ports guide.
cd /usr/ports/lang/crystal
doas make clean install
To avoid building LLVM from source (which can take a long time), you can first install the binary package:
doas pkg_add llvm
