Installation

Generic, portable binaries for Windows and Linux are available on the releases.

ParqBench is tested for Linux (Manjaro 22.0, kernel 5.15.60) and Windows 10 (21H2). Releases are built with:

cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

The builds are self-contained, portable, executables. The resulting binaries are placed in target/<target>.
