How to install runc

Runc is developer utility. The codebase is maintained by its own authors rather than by a vendor.

About the project

Runc 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

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

Before you start

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

A quick sanity check

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.
