Add RISC-V (riscv64) architecture support by Copilot · Pull Request #1008 · schollz/croc

Copilot · 2025-11-20T14:29:55Z

The installer script fails on RISC-V systems with a 404 error because riscv64 architecture maps to unknown, generating a non-existent release filename (croc_v10.3.0_Linux-unknown.tar.gz).

Changes

.github/workflows/release.yml: Added RISC-V to the build matrix

- goos: linux
  goarch: riscv64
  name: Linux-RISCV64
  ext: ""
  archive: tar.gz

.github/workflows/ci.yml: Added RISC-V build to CI testing

CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=riscv64 go build -ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' -o croc-linux-riscv64

src/install/default.txt: Added architecture mapping
```
"riscv64" ) croc_arch="RISCV64";;
```

GitHub Actions will now build croc_v10.3.0_Linux-RISCV64.tar.gz during releases and the installer will correctly download it on RISC-V systems.

<issue_title>[Bug]: Croc Installer failed on RISC-V</issue_title>
<issue_description>### What happened?

I tried to install croc from the command line, but the installer failed:

                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
== Return code of download tool returned an unexpected value of 22

It looks like there is no release for riscv64 and the installer script falls back to Linux-unknown.tar.gz which doesn't exist either

What did you expect to happen?

I hoped it would work

Steps to reproduce

I ran this on a RISC-V (RV64GC) machine:

curl https://getcroc.schollz.com | bash

croc version

10.3.0 I guess??

Operating System

Linux

OS Version

Debian GNU/Linux forky/sid

Relevant log output

Additional context

(this is really a feature request for RISC-V support, but GitHub forces me to use a bug template for some reason)</issue_description>

@copilot don't use go releaser, use the GitHub action to build the risc build

@copilot don't use go releaser, use the GitHub action to build the risc build

Done! I've removed the goreleaser changes and added RISC-V builds to the GitHub Actions workflows instead:

Added to .github/workflows/release.yml (builds croc_v10.3.0_Linux-RISCV64.tar.gz)
Added to .github/workflows/ci.yml for CI testing
Kept the installer script mapping (riscv64 → RISCV64)
