Describe the issue
I wanted to experiment with graalpython, so I downloaded GraalVM 2.0.0. When I open a windows command prompt and run:
gu install python
I get the following output:
Downloading: Component catalog from www.graalvm.org
Error: Unknown component: python
If I run:
gu available
I get the following output:
Downloading: Component catalog from www.graalvm.org
native-image 20.0.0 Native Image github.com
I thought I was able to install more extensions with the community edition than just native-image?
Steps to reproduce the issue
Describe GraalVM and your environment:
More details
@rmoquin, GraalVM 20.0 distribution for Windows platforms currently includes the JDK with the GraalVM compiler enabled, the gu utility, JavaScript support and the developer tools (e.g., Chrome inspector based debugger, Profiler, etc.). Node.js support is scheduled to be included in the next GraalVM release (20.1).
The support for other languages Python, Ruby and R is on the roadmap but we don't have exact timeframe.
GraalPython is configured to use an internal GraalVM LLVM toolchain to compile the C/C++ code and produce both native code and bitcode. Compiling native programs via the GraalVM LLVM runtime on Windows OS is under development now.
GraalVM 20.1 is planned for May 19. Stay tuned!
Gotcha, thanks. It wasn't clear in the docs that this wasn't ready yet on Windows. Thanks for letting me know! Looking forward to being able to try it out.
