Build from source

Most users should install the prebuilt binary with the one-line installer — see Installation. Build from source when you are contributing to Tide or need an unreleased revision.

Prerequisites

• A recent stable Rust toolchain.
• Access to the sharpe-dev/tide repository.

The shipped tide binary embeds Argon, so building it resolves the private sharpe-dev/argon git dependencies. The root workspace (the argon-free runtime, stores, runner, and serve crates) builds without them.

Build

git clone https://github.com/sharpe-dev/tide.git
cd tide
cargo build --release

The compiled binary is at target/release/tide. Put it on your PATH, or copy it to ~/.tide/bin/tide to match the installer layout:

install -m 0755 target/release/tide ~/.tide/bin/tide

A debug build (cargo build, binary at target/debug/tide) compiles faster and is fine for development.

Run the tests

Tide's test suite runs through the workflow harness and the Rust crates:

cargo test

Version

tide --version reports the version baked in at build time. Release builds stamp the distributed channel version; a local source build falls back to the workspace Cargo.toml version.
