Get the Varphi Interpreter
Option 1: Downloading through GitHub Releases (Recommended)
Varphi has an official interpreter, with precompiled binaries available for download on Varphi's GitHub Releases page. These binaries have been compiled for the following operating systems:
Windows 10 and 11
MacOS 13, 14, and 15
Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04
Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025
No prerequisite programs are required to install and use these binaries.
You may need to allow the binary to be executable on some operating systems to be able to use it.
Option 2: Building From Source
It is possible to build the Varphi Interpreter from source. To do so, you will need the following dependencies installed on your machine and on your PATH:
Python (at least version 3.13)
Make
Git
The build process assumes that the Python Interpreter can be accessed over the command line with python
. If this is not the case for your machine, please create an alias to the Python Interpreter with the name python
.
Once you ensure you have these dependencies, please follow the following steps:
Clone the Varphi source code repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/varphi-lang/varphi.git
Change into the
varphi
directory:
$ cd varphi
Build the
vpi
executable:
$ make executable
The Varphi Interpreter should then be available under bin/vpi
(or bin\vpi.exe
if you are on Windows), assuming you're in the varphi
directory.
You may need to allow the binary to be executable on some operating systems to be able to use it.
