# Rakudo Star
Rakudo Star is a user-oriented distribution of the Raku programming language,
and a number of common community modules.
This git repository contains _only_ the tools needed to create a Rakudo Star
distribution, not the sources of individual components of the distribution.
These are fetched when you build the distribution tarball.
The `tar` files available from `github.com` for MoarVM, NQP and Rakudo are NOT
suitable for building Rakudo Star; do not use them. Instead, use the tarballs
found on the individual projects' sites, which correctly contain all the
utilities and dependencies used by them.
## Get Rakudo Star
To get the latest release of Rakudo Star, please download the corresponding
file depending on your platform.
- [Linux](https://rakudo.org/latest/star/source)
- [Windows](https://rakudo.org/latest/star/win64)
- [macOS](https://rakudo.org/latest/star/macos)
## Build Rakudo Star
If you're a Rakudo Star release manager, or someone who wants to create a
user-friendly Raku distribution based on the tools here, check the `guides`
directory. This contains documentation on how to make a Rakudo Star tarball, as
well as information on how to create Windows `.msi` and MacOS `.dmg` packages.
### Quickstart
export VERSION=quickstart # Update to whatever version number you want to use
./bin/mkrelease.sh "$VERSION"
mkdir -p work/build
tar xzf "work/release/rakudo-star-$VERSION.tar.gz" -C work/build
cd "work/build/rakudo-star-$VERSION"
perl Configure.pl --prefix="../../install" --backend=moar --gen-moar --make-install
If you're satisfied, you probably want to generate checksums and a detached PGP
signature for the release.
./bin/mkchecksum "work/release/rakudo-star-$VERSION.tar.gz"
gpg --armor --detach-sign "work/release/rakudo-star-$VERSION.tar.gz"
