Installation on macOS or Linux (AArch64 or x86-64)
If you're running macOS or Linux (AArch64 or x86-64), you can install Mull with this command:

The same command can be used again to update to the latest version.
The installation script supports the following optional environment variables:

For example, the following will install Mull into the working directory:

If you prefer not to use this installation method, you can download the binary from the releases page, make it executable (e.g., with chmod), and place it in some directory in your PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin).
Installation on Windows (AArch64 or x86-64)
If you're running Windows (AArch64 or x86-64), download the latest binary from the releases page and rename it to mull (or mull.exe if you have file extensions visible). Create a directory called Mull in your %PROGRAMFILES% directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Mull), and place the renamed binary in there. Then, in the "Advanced" tab of the "System Properties" section of Control Panel, click on "Environment Variables..." and add the full path to the new Mull directory to the PATH variable under "System variables". Note that the Program Files directory might have a different name if Windows is configured for a language other than English.
To update an existing installation, simply replace the existing binary.
