LLVM

Kythia Workspace provides an automated, seamlessly integrated LLVM environment without the need for manual system configurations.

  1. Go to Runtimes -> LLVM
  2. Select your desired version from the dropdown menu and click Install
  3. Kythia will download the official LLVM binaries directly to your local environment.

Kythia automatically manages the system environment for you. When you activate a specific version of LLVM via the UI, Kythia injects its executable directory directly into your current terminal session’s PATH.

This means you can immediately open a terminal within Kythia and run the standard commands (like clang, clang++, lld) without conflicts or having to restart your computer.

Your installed LLVM versions are stored safely at:

C:\kythia\runtimes\llvm\{version}\

You can install multiple versions of LLVM simultaneously. The Kythia UI allows you to instantly hot-swap between versions for your current workspace session. Simply click the dropdown menu on the LLVM panel, choose a different version, and your terminal environment will update dynamically!
