About the project

Hyperfine is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

Typical distribution routes

Projects of this kind are usually reached through the operating system's package index, through a language-specific registry, or by building the published source tree. Which route applies depends on the platform and on the maintainers' own guidance.

Platform requirements

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Once it is in place

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
