# Wasmer Compiler - LLVM This is the `wasmer-compiler-llvm` crate, which contains a compiler implementation based on LLVM. We recommend using LLVM as the default compiler when running WebAssembly files on any **production** system, as it offers maximum peformance near to native speeds. ## Requirements The llvm compiler requires a valid installation of LLVM in your system. It currently requires **LLVM 10**. You can install LLVM easily on your debian-like system via this command: ```bash bash -c "$(wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh)" ``` Or in macOS: ```bash brew install llvm ``` Or via any of the [pre-built binaries that LLVM offers](https://releases.llvm.org/download.html).
