Portable, self-contained Odin + raylib setup. Everything lives inside the odin/ directory — nothing is installed system-wide and no environment variables or PATH entries are modified. Drop the odin/ folder into any project.

• Linux: curl, tar, clang (Odin links with clang)
• macOS: Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install), curl, tar
• Windows: VS Build Tools with the "Desktop development with C++" workload (MSVC linker); downloads use the built-in BITS (Start-BitsTransfer). If the Build Tools are missing, run .\odin\scripts\setup-windows-msvc.ps1 to install them.

./odin/scripts/setup-linux.sh       # Linux
./odin/scripts/setup-macos.sh       # macOS

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\odin\scripts\setup-windows.ps1   # Windows

Each script downloads the latest Odin and raylib release for your platform/architecture, installs them into odin/bin/, and runs a smoke-test build of the raylib test app. Re-running a script reuses the cached archives in odin/downloads/.

To pin specific versions:

ODIN_TAG=dev-2026-09 RAYLIB_TAG=6.0 ./odin/scripts/setup-linux.sh

GITHUB_TOKEN is used for GitHub API requests if set.

Odin needs the MSVC linker to build executables on Windows. The optional helper script installs the Visual Studio Build Tools with the C++ workload silently — it skips if already installed, self-elevates via UAC, and needs several GB of disk space:

.\odin\scripts\setup-windows-msvc.ps1

Then rerun .\odin\scripts\setup-windows.ps1.

.\odin\scripts\build.ps1                       # Windows
.\odin\scripts\build.ps1 <package-dir> [args]

Or call the compiler directly — it is fully portable and finds its collections relative to its own location:

./odin/bin/odin/odin version
./odin/bin/odin/odin run ./odin/scripts/smoke_test

• Use raylib via import rl "vendor:raylib" (rlgl is available separately as vendor:raylib/rlgl; raygui and raymath are included in the main package).
• Odin's vendor collection already bundles raylib libraries matching its binding, so no linker flags are needed.
• Linking is static by default, so built executables are self-contained (on Windows no raylib.dll needs to be shipped).
• For shared linking use -define:RAYLIB_SHARED=true and place the matching library (raylib.dll / libraylib.so.600 / libraylib.600.dylib, available in odin/bin/raylib/lib and odin/bin/odin/vendor/raylib/<platform>) next to the executable.
