Choosing an Architecture Variant

For x86-64 targets, multiple microarchitecture levels are provided:

Variant	CPUs
`x86-64`	Baseline x86-64 (compatible with all x86-64 CPUs).
`x86-64-v2`	Requires SSE4.2 and POPCNT (Nehalem+, ~2008).
`x86-64-v3`	Requires AVX, AVX2, BMI1/2, FMA (Haswell+, ~2013).
`x86-64-v4`	Requires AVX-512F/BW/DQ/CD/VL (Skylake-X+, ~2017).

For ARM64 targets:

Variant	CPUs
`v8a`	Baseline ARMv8-A (compatible with all ARM64 CPUs).
`v8.2a`	ARMv8.2-A with optional FP16 and RDM extensions.
`v9a`	ARMv9-A with SVE2 and Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).

Usage

After downloading and extracting the archive, run the binary with the required PostgreSQL connection options:

# Linux/macOS
tar xf serve-dict-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-x86-64.tar.xz
./serve-dict --pg-addr localhost --pg-username user --pg-passwd secret

# Windows
unzip serve-dict-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu-x86-64.zip
serve-dict.exe --pg-addr localhost --pg-username user --pg-passwd secret

See Server for the full list of command-line options.

Building from Source

If your platform is not listed, you can build from source:

git clone https://codeberg.org/FreeDictionary/dictionary-server-rs.git
cd dictionary-server-rs
cargo build --release

The resulting binary will be at target/release/serve-dict.
