Do you have a source installation for Linux?

We were building this as part of our CI scripts but it doesn't appear any of the latest releases have picked that up.

In order to build this from source, you have to have Crystal 0.15 installed. I'm not sure this is documented anywhere outside of code. I have not had time or desire to get this up to date with latest Crystal releases.

The easiest way I know to use this without a lot of build hassle is to use our Docker distributable. This is how we use it currently internally and it allows us to be "platform agnostic". Perhaps not ideal for your solution, but it's been our main focus in terms of platform support.

Thanks for quick response,

we are currently using the same crystal version!!, we need to build/install this but it is returning the errors above,

we found this tool so convenient on docker but not able to build it as standalone application

I've updated the build to at least have a linux distro. The build was erroring during a test failure. As far as building local, I do not know the cause of the errors you are having. Those are not specific to Biplane, but appear to be build errors because of either a) your system config or b) some other Crystal-level error.
