Installation

Prebuilt binaries ship for macOS, Linux, and Windows on every tagged release. Pick whichever channel fits your environment.

via npm

npm install -g @anekoique/ark

The npm package wraps the prebuilt binary; no Rust toolchain needed.

via Cargo

cargo install --git https://github.com/Anekoique/ark ark-cli --locked

Requires a working Rust toolchain. The crate's rust-toolchain.toml pins nightly (used for rustfmt unstable options); cargo install reads it automatically when invoked from a clone, but installs from the registry compile cleanly on stable as well.

via prebuilt binary

Download the archive for your platform from the GitHub Releases page and put ark somewhere on your PATH.

Verifying the install

ark --version

Expected output: ark <version> matching your install. If ark isn't found, check that the install path (npm's global bin, Cargo's ~/.cargo/bin, or wherever you put the prebuilt binary) is on your shell's PATH.

Updating

• npm: npm update -g @anekoique/ark
• cargo: cargo install --git https://github.com/Anekoique/ark ark-cli --locked --force
• prebuilt: download the new archive and replace the binary.

After a CLI update, run ark upgrade inside each Ark-managed project to refresh the embedded templates. See ark upgrade for the conflict-resolution policy.
