Installation

Mull comes with a number of precompiled binaries for macOS and Ubuntu. There are two flavors of packages:

• stable - tagged releases (0.8.0, 0.9.0, etc.)

• nightly - built for each PR

Alternatively, you can find packages on Github.

Please, refer to the Hacking on Mull to build Mull from sources.

Install on Ubuntu

Mull supports Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04.

Setup apt-repository:

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/mull-project/mull-stable/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash

Note: Mull uses Cloudsmith for package distribution. The above script detects your OS and sets up the apt repo automagically.

Install the package:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mull
