Installation

This page gets you to a working cobre installation in the shortest path possible. For alternative methods — including cargo install, building from source, and the full platform support table — see Installation (User Guide).

Fastest Path: Pre-built Binary

Download and install the pre-built binary for your platform with a single command.

Linux and macOS

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/cobre-rs/cobre/releases/latest/download/cobre-cli-installer.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://github.com/cobre-rs/cobre/releases/latest/download/cobre-cli-installer.ps1 | iex"

The installer places cobre in $CARGO_HOME/bin (typically ~/.cargo/bin). Ensure that directory is in your PATH.
