Installation

Topiary can be installed in a few different ways. For more information on these, see the respective chapter:

• Package managers
• Building from source
• Using Nix

Dependencies

The Topiary CLI will build Tree-sitter grammars on demand, optionally fetching them from a Git remote first. For this to work, your environment will need a C/C++ toolchain (i.e., compiler and linker) available. If this is available, it should "just work"; otherwise, refer to the underlying mechanism's documentation for configuration advice.

Alternatively, the Tree-sitter CLI can be used to build Tree-sitter grammars outside of Topiary, which can then be loaded through configuration from your local filesystem.
