Verify

Run the version command to confirm everything works:

prism version

You should see output similar to:

Prism 0.1.0 (self-hosted)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
LSP:   available

The compiler reports its own target triple and whether the language server is available — the same binary serves both.

Tip: keep Prism up to date with the same command you installed it with. The toolchain is one release, so there is exactly one version number to watch.
