Install
Homebrew is the short path on macOS and Linux. Cargo works if you already have a Rust toolchain.
Homebrew
Use the fully qualified formula name. That taps and trusts in one step. Homebrew 6 will not load a third-party tap until it is trusted, so brew tap alone is not enough.
shell
brew install jackmcpickle/pkguard/pkguard
tap then trust
brew tap jackmcpickle/pkguard brew trust jackmcpickle/pkguard brew install pkguard
Cargo
Requires a stable Rust toolchain.
shell
cargo install --git https://github.com/jackmcpickle/pkguard pkguard pkguard --version
From source
shell
git clone https://github.com/jackmcpickle/pkguard cd pkguard cargo install --path crates/pkguard
Prebuilt binaries
Per-platform binaries are on thereleases pageif you prefer a download over Homebrew or cargo.
Settings are parsed from committed config files whether or not the manager binary is installed; a missing binary only skips the live advisory step.
