Ion / Download

Ion downloads

Ion3

This is the current “stable” branch of Ion.

Source

For the list of dependencies and installation instructions for the source package, please see the README.

Binary

There is also an experimental ZeroInstall feed for some platforms, if you'd prefer a binary package. (It is possible to use the tarballs provided on the feed page without ZeroInstall as well. Just extract it anywhere you want, say ~/opt/, and start the binary with an absolute path name.)

Patches

Some latest changes are available at the patches page.

Ion3+

This is the current development branch of Ion. It is not actively developed by the author, but contributions (sent with darcs send) fitting in the Ion vision can be accepted after review. There is also a wishlist of changes to Ion3+. The ChangeLog itself is available as RSS.

Ion3+ may only be downloaded with Darcs 2 from the source repository, as follows:

darcs get --lazy http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/repos/ion-3plus/

You will also need libextl-3 and libtu-3 from the same location. If you merely want to build the executable, and not work on the code, you can do this with the following command in the top-level source directory:

sh predist.sh -snapshot
