Installation

Static binaries

Pre-built static binaries are available from GitHub Releases for:

Platform	Architecture
Linux	x86_64, aarch64, riscv64
macOS	x86_64, aarch64
Windows	x86_64, aarch64

Download the binary for your platform, make it executable, and place it on your PATH.

npm

If you use Node.js, you can install Cursus via npm. The package downloads the appropriate static binary for your platform during postinstall. All downloads are verified using a GitHub attestation to ensure that the downloaded builds are official builds. See the security policy for details on the verification chain and how to audit it manually.

npm install --save-dev @zantarix/cursus

This makes cursus available via npx cursus or in npm scripts.

From source

With a Rust toolchain installed:

cargo install cursus-bin

This builds from source and installs the binary to ~/.cargo/bin/.

cargo-binstall

If you have cargo-binstall installed, you can install the prebuilt binary from GitHub Releases without compiling from source:

cargo binstall cursus-bin

This downloads the matching static binary for your host triple (including glibc Linux, which is mapped to the equivalent musl artifact) and installs it to ~/.cargo/bin/. cargo-binstall verifies the download via HTTPS; for stronger identity-pinned provenance verification, run gh attestation verify --repo zantarix/cursus ~/.cargo/bin/cursus against the installed binary.

cargo-run-bin

If you pin tooling versions per-repository using cargo-run-bin, you can declare cursus as a project-scoped binary in your own Cargo.toml:

[package.metadata.bin]
cursus-bin = { version = "<desired-version>" }

When cargo-binstall is also installed, cargo-run-bin will delegate to it and pick up the prebuilt binary, so the install is a fast download rather than a from-source build.

Verify installation

cursus --version
