How to compile your daily Pi extensions into Pi Bolt with Pi Bolt

Turn installed extensions into machine code so they run without interpretation.

Who it is forA Pi Bolt user who relies on heavy extensions and wants them to run as compiled code.

The problemOn the default build, extensions loaded at run time are interpreted, which can slow down heavy work such as search or parsing.

The outcomeThe extensions installed on this machine are compiled into Pi Bolt and run as machine code, and new releases recompile them on update.

What you need first

  • A supported system: Linux x86-64 or ARM64 with glibc 2.17 or later, macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon, Windows 10 (1809) or later on x64, or Android in Termux
  • A terminal and a project folder to run it in
  • A provider account connected with /login, or a local model, as Pi uses

Steps

  1. Install Pi Bolt with the installer and confirm it runs with pi-bolt.
  2. Install the extensions you use every day with pi-bolt install <package>. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Run pi-bolt compile to compile the installed extensions into Pi Bolt (Linux and macOS).
  4. Run pi-bolt update later, which compiles the extensions into each new release.

Prompt for your agent

In the repo opensec-git/Pi-Bolt, run pi-bolt compile on this Linux or macOS machine and report which extensions were compiled. Verify by running pi-bolt doctor and checking that the compiled extensions are listed.

Caveat. pi-bolt compile is listed for Linux and macOS only, and the default build's JIT-free mode means extensions that need bun:ffi require the separate JIT build.
