One file. No installer.
Release v0.742.2 carries a static binary per platform, plus the licence and the full third-party attribution for the roughly 560 crates linked into it. Download, make it executable, put it on your path.

Static binaries, no runtime to install alongside. Windows builds are released too, though macOS and Linux are where the engine is developed and measured.

The first run may need a nudge on macOS. Binaries downloaded from a release are
quarantined by Gatekeeper, so a fresh download can be refused until you clear the
attribute: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rustcfml. Linux
and Windows builds need nothing but the executable bit.
Run it in your browser
The engine compiled to WebAssembly: the real interpreter, in your tab. It is the same target that runs on a Cloudflare Worker, so it doubles as a preview of the edge build.
Run the container
A multi-arch image (amd64 and arm64) on Chainguard Wolfi: about 36 MB, non-root, extension-aware, and it stops cleanly on docker stop. Tags follow engine releases.
docker run --rm -p 8500:8500 \
-v "$PWD/webroot:/srv/app" \
ghcr.io/rustcfml/rustcfml:v0.742.2From source
Rust stable 1.75 or newer. A Cargo workspace of focused crates, so you can build only what you need and read the pipeline in the order it runs.
git clone https://github.com/RustCFML/RustCFML.git
cd RustCFML
cargo build --release
cargo install --path crates/cliYour own artifact
Compile an application and the engine into a single executable, so shipping means copying one file rather than provisioning a server.
rustcfml --build ./myapp --output myapp
# CLI mode instead of a server:
rustcfml --build ./mytool --mode cli --entry main.cfmCheck what you have, and what is in it
The binary can tell you its version, print the licences of every crate statically linked into it, and describe its own capabilities. That last one matters: it is a v0.x engine, and the project would rather you found out from a flag than from a stack trace.
