burn v0.2.4

BURN: Polyglot, deterministic, sandboxed WebAssembly runtime.

Install

The one-liner installer auto-detects your OS + architecture, fetches + verifies the right binary, and updates your $PATH:

# Linux + macOS
curl -fsSL https://afterburner.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
iwr -useb https://afterburner.sh | iex

Manual install

Or grab a tarball directly. Linux + macOS:

# Linux x86_64
curl -L https://github.com/afterburner-sh/afterburner/releases/download/v0.2.4/burn-0.2.4-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv burn-0.2.4-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/burn /usr/local/bin/

# Linux aarch64
curl -L https://github.com/afterburner-sh/afterburner/releases/download/v0.2.4/burn-0.2.4-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv burn-0.2.4-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/burn /usr/local/bin/

# macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon)
curl -L https://github.com/afterburner-sh/afterburner/releases/download/v0.2.4/burn-0.2.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv burn-0.2.4-aarch64-apple-darwin/burn /usr/local/bin/

Windows x86_64 (PowerShell):

# Download + extract + install to %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin
$ver = "0.2.4"
$url = "https://github.com/afterburner-sh/afterburner/releases/download/v0.2.4/burn-$ver-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip"
$dst = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".local\bin"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $dst | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri $url -OutFile burn.zip
Expand-Archive -Path burn.zip -DestinationPath . -Force
Move-Item -Force "burn-$ver-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\burn.exe" "$dst\burn.exe"
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force burn.zip,"burn-$ver-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"
# Add $dst to PATH for the current session (persistent: System Properties > Environment Variables)
$env:Path = "$dst;$env:Path"

Windows ARM64: install the x86_64 build above. Windows 11 ARM64 ships with transparent x64 emulation, so the x86_64 binary runs unmodified.

Intel macOS: not in the release matrix (GitHub's macos-13 runner is end-of-life). Build from source, see the repo README.

Each archive ships with an accompanying .sha256 file.
