Brian Dawn 62d181de78 Provide a feature flag to be able to embed the runtime folder.

These changes provide a new feature flag "embed_runtime" that when
enabled and built in release mode will embed the runtime folder into the
resulting binary.

Installation

We provide pre-built binaries on the GitHub Releases page.

OSX

TODO: brew tap

Please use a pre-built binary release for the time being.

Linux

NixOS

A flake containing the package is available in the project root. The flake can also be used to spin up a reproducible development shell for working on Helix.

Arch Linux

Binary packages are available on AUR:

helix-bin contains the pre-built release
helix-git builds the master branch

Build from source

git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules -j8 https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term

This will install the hx binary to $HOME/.cargo/bin.

Now copy the runtime/ directory somewhere. Helix will by default look for the runtime inside the same folder as the executable, but that can be overriden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.

If you want to bake the runtime/ directory into the Helix binary you can build it with:

cargo install --path helix-term --features "embed_runtime"
