jq is written in C and has no runtime dependencies, so it should be
|
|
possible to build it for nearly any platform. Prebuilt binaries are
|
|
available for Linux (64-bit x86) and OS X.
|
|
|
|
* [Download binary for 64-bit Linux](linux_x86_64/jq)
|
|
* [Download binary for OS X](osx_64/jq)
|
|
(or use [homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/): `brew install jq`)
|
|
* [Download source](source/jq.tgz)
|
|
|
|
The binaries should just run, but you may need to make them
|
|
executable first using:
|
|
|
|
chmod +x jq
|
|
|
|
jq is licensed under the MIT license. For all of the gory
|
|
details, read the file `COPYING` in the source distribution.

Hacking on jq
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
If you want to work on jq, grab the source from
|
|
[https://github.com/stedolan/jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq).
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build it from a git clone, you'll need to install a few
|
|
packages first:
|
|
|
|
* [Flex](http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/)
|
|
* [Bison](http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/)
|
|
* [Python](http://www.python.org)
|
|
* [GCC](http://gcc.gnu.org)
|
|
* [Make](http://www.gnu.org/software/make)
|
|
|
|
Most of these aren't necessary if you're just trying to compile
|
|
jq from the released tarball - that version has the
|
|
non-platform-specific build steps already done, so you'll only
|
|
need a C compiler and `make` to finish it off.
|
|
|
|
For Linux systems, these will all be in your system's package
|
|
manager, and if you do development on the machine they're most
|
|
likely already installed. I have no idea how to get these
|
|
installed on OS X, you're on your own there.
|
|
|
|
`flex` and `bison` are used to generate the lexer and parser for
|
|
jq, and some python scripts generate the UTF8 encoding tables
|
|
needed for JSON parsing.
