How to Install Dune
===================
Dune is available as an Opam package. First, make sure that Opam is installed:
.. code:: console
$ opam --version
2.1.5
Any version higher than 2.0.0 is supported, though preferably at least 2.1.0.
If Opam is not available, follow `the official instructions on the Opam website
<https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html>`_ to install it and then run its
global setup with ``opam init``.
.. note::
Opam requires a "shell hook" to work properly. Make sure to set it up
correctly during ``opam init``. Otherwise you will have to run ``eval $(opam
env)`` every time you create an Opam switch or change directory.
Then, you can install Dune in an Opam switch using the following command:
.. code:: console
$ opam install dune
After the command completes, the following should display a version number:
.. code:: console
$ dune --version
3.12.1
.. note::
In most cases, when using Opam you will not need to install Dune by hand.
Installing the project's dependencies will install it in the Opam switch.
