vibe.d is a high-performance asynchronous I/O, concurrency and web application toolkit written in D. It already contains many supplemental features such as database support to be able to offer a complete development environment. For more specialized needs, there are also many compatible DUB packages available.
Visit the website at http://vibed.org/ for more information.
Vibe.d aims to support the 3 latest minor releases of D. At the moment, it means that the following compilers are supported and tested:
- DMD 2.068
- DMD 2.067
- DMD 2.066
- GDC 4.9.2 (FE: 2.066)
- LDC 0.15.1 (FE: 2.066)
Instead of explicitly installing vibe.d, it is recommended to use DUB for building vibe.d based applications. Once DUB is installed, you can create and run a new project using the following shell commands:
dub init <name> vibe.d
cd <name>
dub
Similarly, you can run an example by invoking dub from any of the
example project directories.
Note that on non-Windows operating systems, you also need to have libevent and OpenSSL installed - and of course a D compiler. See below for instructions.
- Just install DMD using the installer on http://dlang.org/download.html
- And get the latest DUB release
There are currently no 64-bit Windows binaries of libevent included, so you'll either need to build those yourself, or you can switch to the "win32" event driver by inserting "subConfigurations": {"vibe-d": "win32"} into the dub.json file of your project.
If you don't have brew installed, install it according to their install instructions and install libevent.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install libevent
You can then also install DUB using brew:
brew install dub
(Note: Install brew only if you do not have macports, as they will conflict)
Install DMD using the installer on http://dlang.org/download.html.
Optionally, run ./setup-mac.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.
Install vibe.d's dependencies (*)
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libssl-dev
On 32-bit linux: Install DMD-i386
sudo apt-get install g++ gcc-multilib xdg-utils
wget "http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2014/dmd_2.066.1-0_i386.deb"
sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.066.1-0_i386.deb
On 64-bit linux: Install DMD-amd64
sudo apt-get install g++ gcc-multilib xdg-utils
wget "http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2014/dmd_2.066.1-0_amd64.deb"
sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.066.1-0_amd64.deb
Optionally, run ./setup-linux.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.
(*) Note that Debian 6 (Squeeze) and older requires manual installation (see below).
You need to have the following dependencies installed:
Optionally, run ./setup-linux.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.
(*) Note that some Linux distributions such as Debian Squeeze or CentOS 6 may only ship libevent 1.4, in this case you will have to manually compile the latest 2.0.x version:
wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
tar -xf libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.21-stable
./configure
make
make install
ldconfig
Install the DMD compiler and vibe.d's dependencies using portupgrade or a similar mechanism:
sudo portupgrade -PN devel/libevent2 devel/pkgconf
Optionally, run ./setup-freebsd.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.
