Egaroucid for Console

This page is a machine translation of the Japanese version for official content. Please refer to the Japanese version for the official content.

Operations differ depending on your OS. This software is for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Windows

Please download the zip file and unzip it, then you can use it. For the best performance, you can also build it on your own. Please see documents for Linux to build it.

Download

Please download a zip file that is suitable to your environment, and unzip wherever you want. Then execute Egaroucid_for_console.exe to run.

Egaroucid is optimized to SIMD version, which requires AVX2 instructions, but old CPUs (created in 2013 or older) might not be able to run it. If so, please install Generic version. If you have a CPU that have AVX-512 extensions, AVX512 edition may be faster.

OS	Requirements	Date	Download
Windows	AVX2 (Standard)	2025/12/25	Egaroucid for Console 7.8.0 Windows SIMD
Windows	AVX-512	2025/12/25	Egaroucid for Console 7.8.0 Windows AVX512
Windows	-	2025/12/25	Egaroucid for Console 7.8.0 Windows Generic

Please visit GitHub Releases to see older versions and release notes.

Linux / MacOS

Please build on your own. You can use cmake or g++ / clang.

Please download source code here, then unzip it.

Build with cmake

For Mac, extended attributes can cause problems that prevent the program from running, so delete all extended attributes in the Egaroucid folder. The name of the folder will change depending on the version.

xattr -cr ./Egaroucid-console_vX.Y.Z

Change directory.

$ cd Egaroucid-console_vX.Y.Z

Then use cmake command to build. First, please execute the command below.

$ cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ [options]

Egaroucid is often faster when compiled with Clang, so Clang++ is specified. If you want to use the default compiler, please type:

$ cmake -S . -B build [options]

In Windows environment, the -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER option might be ignored. Especially if MSVC is selected as the default compiler, an error will occur, so please use the following command to force Clang++.

$ cmake -S . -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ [options]

You can add additional options in [options]. Available options are:

You want to	Add this option
Build without AVX2	-DHAS_NO_AVX2=ON
Use ARM processors	-DHAS_ARM_PROCESSOR=ON
Optimization for AMD processors	-DHAS_AMD_PROCESSOR=ON
Use 32-bit environment	-DHAS_32_BIT_OS=ON
Use CPUs with AVX-512	-DHAS_AVX512=ON

Then,

$ cmake --build build

That's all. You can see Egaroucid_for_Console.out in Egaroucid-console_vX.Y.Z/bin directory. You can run with commands below.

$ ./bin/Egaroucid_for_Console.out

Build with g++ or clang

Requirements are:

g++ or clang command
- I tested with version g++ 13.1.0 / clang 17.0.1 on Windows
- I tested with version g++ 11.3.0 on Ubuntu
C++17

xattr -cr ./Egaroucid-console_vX.Y.Z

Change directory.

$ cd Egaroucid-console_vX.Y.Z

Then compile it with g++ or clangcommand. You can change the output name. In my environment, Egaroucid for Console can be faster with clang.

$ clang++ -O2 ./src/Egaroucid_for_Console.cpp -o ./bin/Egaroucid_for_Console.out -mtune=native -march=native -pthread -std=c++20 [options]

$ g++ -O2 ./src/Egaroucid_for_Console.cpp -o ./bin/Egaroucid_for_Console.out -mtune=native -march=native -mfpmath=both -pthread -std=c++20 [options]

You can add additional options in [options]. Available options are:

You want to	Add this option
Build without AVX2	-DHAS_NO_AVX2
Use ARM processors	-DHAS_ARM_PROCESSOR
Optimization for AMD processors	-DHAS_AMD_PROCESSOR
Use 32-bit environment	-DHAS_32_BIT_OS
Use CPUs with AVX-512	-DHAS_AVX512

Then execute the output file.

$ ./bin/Egaroucid_for_console.out

Usage

Directory Structure

Egaroucid for Console uses some external files. If you've got a trouble, please check it.

Egaroucid_for_Console.exe
resources
- hash (Files for hash)
  - hash25.eghs
  - hash26.eghs
  - hash27.eghs
- book.egbk3 (book file)
- eval.egev2 (evaluation file)
- eval_move_ordering_end.egev (evaluation file for endgame)

About Changing Book Format

Egaroucid for Console has changed the book format since version 7.0.0. The extension of the new book is .egbk3, and it loads resources/book.egbk3 by default, but it can also load old .egbk and .egbk2 format books. If you want to use a book other than the standard one or an old book, please start it with Egaroucid_for_Console.exe -book [book file name].

Documents for Go Text Protocol (GTP) users

GTP is a communication protocol made for game of Go, but you can play Othello with GTP on some applications. Some GTP commands are available on Egaroucid for Console, so these applications can communicate with Egaroucid for Console.

If you want to use GTP commands, please type this.

$ Egaroucid_for_Console.exe -gtp

I tested it works with GoGui on Windows and Quarry on Ubuntu.
