## Pattern Language
|
|
|
|
The custom C-like Pattern Language developed and used by ImHex is easy to read, understand and learn. A guide with all features of the language can be found [on the docs page](http://imhex.werwolv.net/docs).
|
|
|
|
## Database
|
|
|
|
For format patterns, libraries, magic and constant files, check out the [ImHex-Patterns](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Patterns) repository.
|
|
|
|
**Feel free to PR your own files there as well!**

|
|
- [C++ Plugin Template](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Cpp-Plugin-Template)
|
|
- [Rust Plugin Template](https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Rust-Plugin-Template)

## Third party repositories
|
|
|
|
ImHex is available in various third party repositories.
|
|
|
|
[](https://repology.org/project/imhex/versions)
|
|
|
|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
To compile ImHex on any platform, GCC (or Clang) is required with a version that supports C++23 or higher.
|
|
On macOS, Clang is also required to compile some ObjC code.
|
|
All releases are being built using latest available GCC.
|
|
|
|
Many dependencies are bundled into the repository using submodules so make sure to clone it using the `--recurse-submodules` option.
|
|
All dependencies that aren't bundled, can be installed using the dependency installer scripts found in the `/dist` folder.
