Binary and src packages are available for linux x86-64, linux i686, darwin (x86-64 12.5.0) and win32 (mingw32) at the github releases page.
Or you can download the latest potion source from here.
$ git clone https://github.com/perl11/potion.git
$ cd potion
After unpacking potion, cd to that directory and run GNU make (version 4.0 preferred):
$ gmake DEBUG=1
There should be not many errors and you should see a welcome message at the end of the output with a decent new compiler (clang preferred). See INSTALL.md
If anything goes wrong, first check the known issues and you might want to contact us at irc://irc.perl.org/#perl11 or add a new issue. Note that we don't support strict C++ compilers, MSVC, and BSD make out of the box.
You now have a 'potion' binary in the bin directory. Optionally, to test it, run:
$ gmake test
~
$ bin/potion the_file_to_run.pn
You can install it globally with
$ gmake install
Packaging
For the current architecture run
$ make dist
to create packages in the 'pkg' directory.
For the various cross-compilers run
$ tools/mk-release.sh
