Install

I. Compiling (RACCOMENDED)

git clone https://github.com/djtech-dev/midnight.git
git submodule init
cargo rustc --release --features=[...] -- -C target-cpu=native You need to insert your selected features. ([] for a minimalistic experience)

There are two advantages with this method:

Every single extra feature in Midnight is a Cargo features, so you can choose exactly what will be in your editor and what will be cut off.
-- -C target-cpu=native uses rustc's features for better optimization for your specific hardware

II. From releases

With the future release of v1.0.0-rc1 (first public release), the executables will be avaiable in Github Releases.
