-=== Package Compatibility === +=== Latest Release === 
-Releases have been tested on specific operating system versions. Though some packages can be installed on newer or older systems, we advise against doing this. If you find a problem, please contact us (see at bottom of page of how to do this). +The latest release as of 01.02.2021 is [[https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/sac-group/sac-packages/-/releases/v1.3.3-572-1|v1.3.3-572-1]]

-==== Weeklies --- Bleeding-Edge Release ====+Binary releases of the compiler and the standard library are provided via our package repository, at https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/sac-group/sac-packages/-/releases. We support most //UNIX*// operating systems, including 
 +**RPM**, **DEB**, and **MacOS**. Running on Windows is possible using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux|WSL]].
  
-<callout type="warning" icon="true"> +Other operating systems may have packages, see [[:download:sac2c#rd-party_packages|3rd-party packages]].
-=== Stability === +
-These packages are of the most recent (//bleeding-edge//) state of the compiler. They are provided on a //best-effort// basis, but it is highly likely that the packages (and compiler) might not work correctly and negatively impact your system. You have been warned!  +

 ==== Installing ==== ==== Installing ====
 +
 +Please make sure that your system is properly setup to run SaC --- at the very least you need to have a working C-compiler.
 +
 +Note that on MacOS you must have Xcode installed and configured for command line usage. If you use [[https://www.brew.sh|brew]] or [[https://www.macports.org|macports]], this may already be done for you.

 +While we do not currently support a native Windows version, you can still use it through a virtualisation layer
 +of your choosing. The easiest way to use ''sac2c'' on a Windows 10 system is to use Window's own virtualisation
 +for Linux support, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
 +To do this, you have to do four things:
 +  - You need to activate the developer mode of Windows. (Settings -> Update & Security -> For developers -> tick the Developer Mode)
 +  - You need to activate the WSL. (Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs & Features -> Turn Features On & Off -> tick Windows Subsystem for Linux)
 +  - Go to the Microsoft Store and choose a Linux Distribution of your choice, e.g, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
 +  - Download the //basic// version of ''sac2c'' and ''sac-stdlib'' that matches the Linux version you have chosen and install it. For Ubuntu, you download the corresponding ''.deb'' files and then run
 +<code>
 +$sudo apt update
 +$sudo apt install sac2c-VERSION-RELEASE.deb
 +$sudo apt install sac-stdlib-VERSION-RELEASE.deb
 +</code>
 +
 +After that, you should have the sac system up and running:
 +the SaC binaries are postfixed by their release type (production or debug), so there is a ''sac2c_p'' and ''sac2c_d'' respectively, ''sac2c'' is simply a link to ''sac2c_p''.
