How to install GraalVM Community Edition 22 on Rocky Linux 8 and run Java/C/C++/nodeJS - GraalVM 22
1In this video we are going to see how to install GraalVM Community Edition 22 on Rocky Linux 8.
Installation Method (for Components) will be both Online and Offline.
Prerequisites: gcc, glibc, zlib-devel packages should be already installed and Hard disk space around 2 to 3 GB.
We will be showing below basic commands in this video.
gu list ---- To check what components are already shipped with your GraalVM installation or what you have already installed.
gu available ---- To check what components are available for your GraalVM version to install
gu -L install component.jar ---- You can install a component from a local file, Having downloaded the appropriate JAR file, install it with this command.
gu remove ComponentId ---- The command to uninstall the component.
gu remove -D ComponentId ---- add the -D option, which would remove dependent components in addition to those explicitly selected.
gu info ComponentId ---- print the information about specific component (from file, URL, or catalog).
Next we will be
1. Compile a Java application ahead-of-time into a native executable.
2. Compile and Run C Program using LLVM (Clang).
3. Compile and Run C++ Program using LLVM (Clang++).
4. Run Node.js program
Here I am using Oracle GraalVM CE 22.3 Linux for Java 17 and can be downloaded from:

Get started with GraalVM – is a high-performance JDK designed to accelerate Java application performance while consuming fewer resources. GraalVM offers two ways to run Java applications: on the HotSpot JVM with Graal just-in-time (JIT) compiler or as an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled native executable. Besides Java, it provides runtimes for JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and a number of other popular languages. GraalVM’s polyglot capabilities make it possible to mix programming languages in a single application while eliminating any foreign language call costs.
Supported Functionalities
The base distribution of GraalVM Community Edition for Linux platforms includes OpenJDK with the GraalVM compiler enabled. The base installation can be additionally extended with:
Tools/Utilities:
Native Image – a technology to compile an application ahead-of-time into a native executable
LLVM toolchain – a set of tools and APIs for compiling native programs to bitcode that can be executed with on the GraalVM runtime
Language runtimes:
Java on Truffle,JavaScript,Node.js,LLVM,Python,Ruby,R,Wasm
