Installation

Get Turbo up and running on your machine.

Prerequisites

• Rust (stable toolchain) -- rustup.rs
• C compiler -- gcc or clang (for linking AOT binaries)

Option 1: Homebrew (macOS)

Install on macOS via Homebrew. The formula installs the CLI and LSP binaries from the release archive.

brew tap ZVN-DEV/turbo
brew install turbo-lang

Option 2: Curl Installer

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZVN-DEV/Turbo-Language/master/distribution/install.sh | bash

Option 3: Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ZVN-DEV/Turbo-Language.git
cd Turbo-Language/turbo

# Build in release mode
cargo build --release -p turbo-cli -p turbo-lsp

# The binaries are at target/release/turbolang and target/release/turbo-lsp

Add to PATH

Add the Turbo binary to your shell's PATH so you can use it from anywhere:

# Add to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or equivalent
export PATH="$HOME/Turbo-Language/turbo/target/release:$PATH"

Verify Installation

turbolang --version
command -v turbo-lsp

You should see the current version number from the CLI and confirm the LSP server binary is available for editors.

Editor Support

Install the Turbo VS Code extension for syntax highlighting, snippets, and LSP integration:

# Search "Turbo Language" in the VS Code Extensions panel
# Or install from the command line:
code --install-extension zvndev.turbo-lang
