What's Installed

Check, What is installed in your system?

After installation, you have the following directories and files. Here we assume that you installed into the $HOME/.wasmedge directory. You could also change it to /usr/local if you did a system-wide install. If you used winget to install WasmEdge, the files are located at C:\Program Files\WasmEdge.

For the full options of the WasmEdge installer, please refer to the document here.

• The $HOME/.wasmedge/bin directory contains the WasmEdge Runtime CLI executable files. You can copy and move them around on your file system.
  • The wasmedge tool is the standard WasmEdge runtime. You can use it from the CLI.
    • Execute a WASM file: wasmedge --dir .:. app.wasm
  • The wasmedgec tool is the ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler to compile a .wasm file into a native .so file (or .dylib on MacOS, .dll on Windows, or .wasm as the universal WASM format on all platforms). The wasmedge can then execute the output file.
    • Compile a WASM file into a AOT-compiled WASM: wasmedgec app.wasm app.so
    • Execute the WASM in AOT mode: wasmedge --dir .:. app.so
  • The wasmedge-tensorflow, wasmedge-tensorflow-lite tools are runtimes that support the WasmEdge tensorflow extension.
• The $HOME/.wasmedge/lib directory contains WasmEdge shared libraries, as well as dependency libraries. They are useful for WasmEdge SDKs to launch WasmEdge programs and functions from host applications.
• The $HOME/.wasmedge/include directory contains the WasmEdge header files. They are useful for WasmEdge SDKs.
• The $HOME/.wasmedge/plugin directory contains the plug-ins for WasmEdge.
