Getting started

Installation

The v0.1.5 npm artifact packages Apple Silicon macOS and Windows x64. Other targets currently require a source build.

Alpha software

Installation makes a local CLI available; it does not provide a hosted account, team remote, or backup. Protect important source data independently.

Install from npm

Packaged platforms

The published v0.1.5 artifact contains darwin-arm64 and win32-x64 binaries. It does not contain Linux, Intel macOS, or Windows arm64 binaries.

npm install -g @byronwade/dits
dits --version

On either packaged target, the launcher requires Node.js 16 or later. Equivalent package-manager commands are:

bun install -g @byronwade/dits
pnpm install -g @byronwade/dits
yarn global add @byronwade/dits

Build the repository source

git clone https://github.com/byronwade/dits.git
cd dits
cargo build --locked --release -p dits
./target/release/dits --version

Building optional VFS functionality may require platform-specific FUSE dependencies. The default local CLI does not require a remote service.

Unavailable distribution methods

Dits does not currently publish an install.sh, Homebrew tap, or crates.io package. Old commands referencing those methods are invalid.

Verify the installation

dits --version
dits --help

Next, follow the safe local evaluation. If the launcher fails, report the package version, Node version, operating system, architecture, and complete error output.
