Previous release: 0.7.1

Still here in case the newest gets in your way: the same downloads of JanusHDL 0.7.1.

Install on Windows

  1. Unzip anywhere, for example to C:\Tools\janushdl.
  2. Add its bin folder to your PATH, or run the programs from there.
  3. Check: jhdl --version prints the version.

Install on Linux

  1. Unpack anywhere: 
    mkdir -p ~/tools
tar -xzf janushdl-0.8.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C ~/tools
    (On a Raspberry Pi: janushdl-0.8.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz, and aarch64 in the path below.)
  2. Add its bin folder to your path, in ~/.bashrc for example: 
    export PATH=~/tools/janushdl-0.8.0-linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
  3. Check: jhdl --version prints the version. The window, jhdlw, needs a desktop session (X11 or Wayland) with Vulkan or OpenGL drivers (without them it draws in software). On a minimal system it may need a library package or two, such as libxkbcommon-x11; it says which, and how to install it. The command line needs nothing else.

To run existing scripts, add one compat/<family> folder to your path instead of bin (it has jhdl too). See the specifications.

JanusHDL is free of charge for anyone and any use, commercial work included, and you may pass unchanged copies on.
