Prebuilt profiles for macOS (Apple Silicon). A profile is the ring model as an artifact — the same cx binary name with a profile-decided surface, so you install only as much of CX as you take on. Other platforms build from source below.

Install

The installer resolves the latest release and installs the platform profile by default:

curl -sSL https://cxhome.org/install | sh

Leaner compositions install with CX_PROFILE=:

curl -sSL https://cxhome.org/install | CX_PROFILE=data sh

Profiles

Profile	Rings	Surface	Tarball
`platform` (default)	0–2	evaluator + local-effect stdlib + store/fabric/XAP daemons; ships `libcx` + `cx.h`	cx-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
`cli`	0–1	evaluator + local-effect stdlib packs + http client; no servers — the binary is the deliverable	cx-cli-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
`embed`	0–1 core	evaluator only, no local-effect packs; ships the embed-shape `libcx` + `cx.h`	cx-embed-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
`data`	0	parse / convert / canonical / hash / diff / validate — cannot execute programs (no evaluator in the artifact); ships `libcx-core` + `cx.h`	cx-data-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

Verify

Every release carries a SHA256SUMS.txt over all tarballs and the conformance bundle:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing

Also on every release

Conformance bundle — cx-conformance-v0.17.0.zip: the full fixture corpus, for independent implementations and audits.
WebAssembly bundle — libcx-wasm powers the playground and ships alongside the binaries on release tags.
All releases — github.com/cx-home/cx/releases, each with notes and checksums.

Other platforms

Linux and Windows build from source (a static binary on any glibc-based distro; Windows is on the roadmap):

git clone https://github.com/cx-home/cx && cd cx
devbox run -- make build && devbox run -- make install

See the quickstart install section for per-platform detail.
