How to install Archon

Archon is developer utility. This page carries no procedure of its own; it records what the project is and what to look at before touching it.

How it gets there

The route varies. Some projects publish to system repositories, some to a registry, some only as source that a dedicated build tool consumes.

Who is behind it

Ownership sits with the project's own contributors. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by them, and none of it is mediated here.

Before touching anything

Establish which platforms the current release actually targets. Support ranges shift, and the newest release is frequently not the one suited to an older machine.

Reading the outcome

When results differ from expectations, check what is actually being picked up. Duplicate copies and stale caches are the usual explanation.

Scope of this site

This is a notes-only site. Projects stay with their maintainers; nothing is reproduced here.

Keeping environments clean

Isolating environments, whether with a version manager or per-project directories, removes a whole category of confusing behaviour later on.
