• Debian/Ubuntu

$ sudo apt install zig

• Alpine Linux

$ doas apk add zig

• 최신 리눅스 버전 설치
  • https://ziglang.org/download/
  • os와 아키텍쳐에 맞는 파일을 다운로드한다.
  • 압축을 푼 후 PATH를 설정해주면 바로 사용 가능하다.
  • 현재 사용 버전: 0.12

$ tar xJf zig-linux-x86_64-0.12.0-dev.3212+40e64245f.tar.xz
$ ln -s zig-linux-x86_64-0.12.0-dev.3212+40e64245f/ zig
$ cd zig; ls 
$ ./zig version
$ ./zig help

Hello World

• hello-world.zig

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() !void {
    std.debug.print("Hello, World!\n", .{});
}

• run / test

$ zig run hello-world.zig
$ zig test hello-world.zig

• build (default=debug, small, fast, safe)

$ zig build-exe hello.zig
$ ./hello

$ zig build-exe --name hello-small -O ReleaseSmall hello.zig
$ zig build-exe --name hello-fast -O ReleaseFast hello.zig
$ zig build-exe --name hello-safe -O ReleaseSafe hello.zig
$ zig build-exe --name hello-debug -O Debug hello.zig
