Introduction

Wasmer is a standalone JIT WebAssembly runtime, aiming to be fully compatible with WASI and Emscripten.

Install Wasmer with:

curl https://get.wasmer.io -sSfL | sh

Note: Wasmer is also available on Windows. Download the WasmerInstaller.exe from the Github Releases page.

Wasmer runtime can also be embedded in different languages, so you can use WebAssembly anywhere :

Usage

Wasmer can execute both the standard binary format (.wasm) and the text format defined by the WebAssembly reference interpreter (.wat).

Once installed, you will be able to run any WebAssembly files (including Lua, PHP, SQLite and nginx!):

# Run Lua
wasmer run examples/lua.wasm

You can find more wasm/wat examples in the examples directory.

With WAPM

Installing Wasmer through wasmer.io includes wapm, the WebAssembly Package Manager.

Wapm allows you to easily download, run, and distribute WebAssembly binaries.

# Install cowsay globally
wapm install -g cowsay

# Run cowsay
wapm run cowsay "Hello, world!"

For more information about wapm, check out the website and this example program.

Code Structure

Wasmer is structured into different directories:

  • src: code related to the Wasmer executable itself
  • lib: modularized libraries that Wasmer uses under the hood
  • examples: some useful examples to getting started with Wasmer

Dependencies

Building Wasmer requires rustup.

To build Wasmer on Windows, download and run rustup-init.exe then follow the onscreen instructions.

To build on other systems, run:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Other dependencies

Please select your operating system:

macOS

macOS

If you have Homebrew installed:

brew install cmake

Or, in case you have MacPorts:

sudo port install cmake

Debian-based Linuxes

Debian-based Linuxes

sudo apt install cmake pkg-config libssl-dev

FreeBSD

FreeBSD

pkg install cmake

Windows

Windows (MSVC)

Windows support is experimental. WASI is fully supported, but Emscripten support is on the works (this means nginx and Lua do not work on Windows - you can track the progress on this issue).

  1. Install Visual Studio

  2. Install Rust for Windows

  3. Install Python for Windows. The Windows x86-64 MSI installer is fine. Make sure to enable "Add python.exe to Path" during installation.

  4. Install Git for Windows. Allow it to add git.exe to your PATH (default settings for the installer are fine).

  5. Install CMake. Ensure CMake is in your PATH.

  6. Install LLVM 8.0

Building

Wasmer is built with Cargo, the Rust package manager.

Set Rust Nightly:

rustup default nightly

And install Wasmer

# checkout code
git clone https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer.git
cd wasmer

# install tools
make release-clif # To build with cranelift (default)

make release-llvm # To build with llvm support

make release-singlepass # To build with singlepass support

# or
make release # To build with singlepass, cranelift and llvm support

Testing

Thanks to spec tests we can ensure 100% compatibility with the WebAssembly spec test suite.

You can run all the tests with:

rustup default nightly
make test

Testing backends

Each backend can be tested separately:

  • Singlepass: make singlepass
  • Cranelift: make cranelift
  • LLVM: make llvm

Testing integrations

Each integration can be tested separately:

  • Spec tests: make spectests
  • Emscripten: make emtests
  • WASI: make wasi
  • Middleware: make middleware
  • C API: make capi

Benchmarking

Benchmarks can be run with:

make bench-[backend]

# for example
make bench-singlepass

Roadmap

Wasmer is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and fast. It is open to the community to help set its direction.

Below are some of the goals of this project (in order of priority):

  • It should be 100% compatible with the WebAssembly spec tests
  • It should be fast (partially achieved)
  • Support WASI - released in 0.3.0
  • Support Emscripten calls (in the works)
  • Support Go js ABI calls

Architecture

If you would like to know how Wasmer works under the hood, please see docs/architecture.md.
