Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

The fastest way to get cora — single command, no Rust required:

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codecoradev/cora-cli/main/install.sh | sh

Installs to ~/.local/bin. Add to PATH if needed:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

Pin a specific version:

$ CORA_VERSION=v0.6.0 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codecoradev/cora-cli/main/install.sh | sh

Install via Cargo

If you have Rust 1.85+ installed:

$ cargo install cora-cli

This compiles cora from source and installs it to Cargo's binary directory (typically ~/.cargo/bin/).

Download Binary

Pre-built binaries are available from the GitHub Releases page.

Supported platforms:

• Linux x86_64 (glibc)
• Linux arm64 (aarch64)
