Environment Setup
Common setup steps for Byte Engine applications.
Environment Setup
Byte depends on a few external tools to work properly. Start with the common steps on this page, then follow the platform-specific guide for the operating system you use.
Required
Rust(up)
Byte is written in Rust. Install Rust with rustup; building the engine requires a nightly Rust toolchain from 2026-06-01 or more recent. The repository pins the required nightly toolchain in rust-toolchain.toml, so Cargo will download and use that toolchain when you build inside the checkout.

Byte Engine requires different setup steps on each supported platform. Install the platform-specific SDK, compiler, and package dependencies before building an application that depends on Byte Engine.
