Ubuntu/Debian Target

[aeriondyseti]

Description

Could you add a prebuilt binary for debian/ubuntu linux, or does this depend on Apple-specific APIs?

Motivation

I don't use macOS, I use Linux.

Alternatives considered

No response

Hi, thanks for the interest!
Linux is currently an untested target, but it should compile that was an explicit design goal, no macOS-specific APIs. In the meantime you can build from source with:
cargo install --git https://github.com/StanMarek/ghost-complete

Heads up: the shell integration scripts (shell/init.zsh etc.) assume the macOS install layout, so you'll likely need to wire that up manually. Not a great UX - I don't want to oversell it.

Adding proper Linux release artifacts (deb/rpm, x86_64 + aarch64) to the roadmap. Will track here.

I kinda could get it to work on NixOs with WezTerm using the following:

export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=1
nix shell --impure nixpkgs#ghost-complete

Or when using overlays in flakes:

allow_ghost_completen_on_linux_overlay = (final: prev: {
  ghost-complete =
    prev.ghost-complete.overrideAttrs (old: {
      meta = old.meta // {
        platforms = final.lib.platforms.all;
      };
    });
});

It would be nice if it was easier and less intrusive to add to your dotfiles like .zshrc. Something similar to eval "$(fzf --zsh)" or eval "$(starship init zsh)" would be a better more familiar workflow.
