Quick Start (Binary)

# Download and extract (example: macOS Apple Silicon)
curl -LO https://github.com/darkmice/talon-bin/releases/latest/download/talon-macos-arm64.tar.gz
tar xzf talon-macos-arm64.tar.gz

# Start the server
./talon-macos-arm64

# Or use the CLI
./talon-macos-arm64-cli

Use as Rust Dependency

This repo includes a talon-sys crate that provides safe Rust bindings. It automatically downloads the pre-built library during cargo build.

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
talon-sys = { git = "https://github.com/darkmice/talon-bin.git" }

Example usage:

use talon_sys::Talon;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let db = Talon::open("./my-data")?;

    // SQL
    let result = db.run_sql("CREATE TABLE users (id INT, name TEXT)")?;

    // KV
    db.kv_set(b"key", b"value", 0)?;
    let val = db.kv_get(b"key")?;

    // Vector search
    db.vector_insert("embeddings", 1, &[0.1, 0.2, 0.3])?;
    let results = db.vector_search("embeddings", &[0.1, 0.2, 0.3], 10, "cosine")?;

    // Generic JSON command
    let resp = db.execute(r#"{"module":"kv","action":"set","params":{"key":"k","value":"v"}}"#)?;

    Ok(())
}

Use as C/C++ Library

Download the library archive for your platform, then link against libtalon.so / libtalon.dylib:

#include "talon.h"

int main() {
    TalonHandle *db = talon_open("./my-data");
    char *json = NULL;
    talon_run_sql(db, "SELECT 1 + 1", &json);
    printf("%s\n", json);
    talon_free_string(json);
    talon_close(db);
    return 0;
}

# Linux
gcc main.c -L. -ltalon -o app

# macOS
clang main.c -L. -ltalon -o app

Verify Checksums

Each release includes a SHA256SUMS.txt file. Verify your download:

# Download the checksum file
curl -LO https://github.com/darkmice/talon-bin/releases/latest/download/SHA256SUMS.txt

# Verify
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt
# or on macOS:
