Install details (English summary)

Canonical document: docs/install.md (Chinese).

install.sh does four steps: system packages (per-distro names: apt/dnf/pacman/zypper), toolchain (rustup → ~/.cargo; Docker for the server mode), sources into ~/AnyBot, then build + install. No root for the app; it picks desktop vs. hands automatically (Mac / Linux-with-desktop → app, headless Linux → hands). Low-RAM machines compile with fewer parallel jobs (one per 2 GB). Env: ANYBOT_DIR, ANYBOT_BRANCH.

Requirements

Platform	Needs
All	Rust ≥ 1.95 via rustup (apt's is too old), git, make, C compiler
macOS ≥ 12	Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)
Linux	build-essential pkg-config libasound2-dev (+ X11/Wayland, notify, clipboard libs — install.sh installs them)
Windows	VS Build Tools (C++); cargo build --release works, installer packaging is not done

Make targets

make deps (system packages + Rust, one time) · make (build) · make install (Mac → ~/Applications/AnyBot.app, Linux → ~/.local/bin/anybot + menu entry) · make run · make test · make doctor (what's missing on this machine) · make serve (headless) · make setup (pair this machine to your brain) · make server (host the account server here) · make dist (release archives into dist/) · make relay (build the relay alone).

FAQ

• Killed / signal: 9 while compiling — out of memory; add swap: sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile && sudo chmod 600 /swapfile && sudo mkswap /swapfile && sudo swapon /swapfile.
• requires rustc 1.95 — rustup update stable; don't use the distro's rustc.
• alsa / pkg-config not found — make deps.
• Mac: "cannot verify developer" — right-click the app › Open, once.
• Server URL unreachable — DNS A record? ports 80/443 open? cd ~/AnyBot/deploy/server && docker compose logs caddy.
• Uninstall — make uninstall removes the program, keeps your bots and chats.
