Compiling from source code
For other platforms, WhiteboxTools can be compiled from the source code with the following steps:
- Install the Rust compiler; Rustup is recommended for this purpose. Further instruction can be found at this link.
- Download the WhiteboxTools source code. To download the code, click the green Clone or download button on the GitHub repository site.
- Decompress the zipped download file.
- Open a terminal (command prompt) window and change the working directory to the whitebox_tools sub-folder, which is contained within the decompressed downloaded Whitebox folder.
- At the command prompt, type: >> cd /path/to/folder/whitebox_tools/
- Finally, use the rust package manager Cargo, which will be installed along with Rust, to compile the executable, by typing the following at the command prompt: >> cargo build –release
Depending on your system, the compilation may take several minutes. When completed, the compiled binary executable file will be contained within the whitebox_tools/target/release/ folder. Copy and paste this file into the WBT folder. You may type ./whitebox_tools –help at the command prompt (after cd’ing to the containing folder) for information on how to run the executable from the terminal.
