Download Antfly#

Early-Access Release#

Antfly is currently in pre-alpha development. We are actively working on features and improvements, and we welcome your feedback.

Antfly ships the native Zig runtime as the antfly binary.

Back up before upgrading the Zig runtime#

Early-access Zig releases may migrate table files in place when opening an existing data directory. That migration can be one-way: an older Zig binary may subsequently fail to open the directory with InvalidTableFile.

Create and verify a portable backup before upgrading, and restore that backup into a fresh data directory if you need to roll back. Do not rely on swapping the binary while reusing a directory that a newer Zig release has opened.

Installation Instructions#

brew install antflydb/taps/antfly

or tap homebrew-taps and install separately:

brew tap antflydb/taps
brew trust --formula antflydb/taps/antfly
brew install antfly

The trust step is required for short-name installs from non-official taps.

This installs the native Zig runtime as antfly. CLI commands are available directly as antfly <command> (e.g., antfly query, antfly table create).

To run Antfly as a local service:

brew services start antfly
