If you want a bleeding edge release or maximal performance you should compile polars from source.
- Install the latest Rust compiler
- Run
npm|yarn install
- Choose any of:
- Fastest binary, very long compile times:
$ cd nodejs-polars && yarn build && yarn build:ts # this will generate a /bin directory with the compiles TS code, as well as the rust binary
- Debugging, fastest compile times but slow & large binary:
$ cd nodejs-polars && yarn build:debug && yarn build:ts # this will generate a /bin directory with the compiles TS code, as well as the rust binary
- Fastest binary, very long compile times:
