Installation from package

Debian/Ubuntu

On recent Debian/Ubuntu systems, vectorscan should be directly available for installation:

$ sudo apt install libvectorscan5

Or to install the devel package you can install libvectorscan-dev package:

$ sudo apt install libvectorscan-dev

At this time only Debian 12 offers either vectorscan package. Ubuntu only offers the vectorscan packages for arm64 CPU architectures.

Alpine

On recent Alpine systems, vectorscan should be directly available for installation via the community repository:

$ sudo apk add vectorscan

Or to install the devel package you can install libvectorscan-dev package:

$ sudo apk add vectorscan-dev

The community repository is not enabled by default on Alpine, you may need to uncomment the repo in the /etc/apk/repositories file and then run apk update before you can install vectorscan.

openSUSE

$ sudo zypper install libhs5-vectorscan5

Or to install the devel package you can install vectorscan-devel package:

$ sudo zypper install vectorscan-devel

MacOS X (Homebrew)

This assumes an existing HomeBrew installation

% brew install vectorscan
