< p > Solstice is an in-development language, and you can find the latest code on the < a href = "https://chookspace.com/max/solstice" > Git repository< / a > . At present, the stability of Solstice is questionable, so don't trust it to handle your nuclear codes or anything like that yet.< / p >
2025-12-23 10:56:22 +11:00
< p > This script will automatically build and install Solstice and Ground from source for you, or update them if they are already installed.< / p >
< pre class = "code" style = "overflow-y: auto" >
< code > bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://sols.dev/install.sh)"< / code > < / pre >
2026-01-20 12:15:50 +11:00
< p > If you find any issues while trying Solstice, please report them < a href = "https://chookspace.com/max/solstice/issues" > here< / a > ! Solstice needs all the help it can get.< / p >
< p > Stable-ish builds are avaliable in < a href = "https://chookspace.com/max/solstice/releases" > the releases tab< / a > of the Git repository. These builds are likely to be more stable, but don't treat them as a stable branch yet.< / p >
2025-12-23 23:42:59 +11:00
< p > Once you've installed, < a href = "/docs" > read the docs< / a > to get started.< / p >
