Building from Source

Requires a Rust toolchain (edition 2024) via rustup and a C compiler:

git clone https://github.com/dkluhzeb/crap-cms.git
cd crap-cms
cargo build --release

The binary is at target/release/crap-cms. SQLite and Lua are bundled — no system libraries needed.

Optional Tools

  • grpcurl — for testing the gRPC API from the command line. See grpcurl installation.
  • lua-language-server (LuaLS) — for IDE autocompletion in Lua config files. The project provides type definitions in types/crap.lua.
