Installation

minnal ships as a single static binary. The launcher lives at ~/.local/bin/minnal on Unix and %LOCALAPPDATA%\minnal\bin\minnal.exe on Windows.

macOS & Linux

curl -fsSL https://minnal.dev/install | bash

The script downloads the latest release, drops it into ~/.minnal/builds/stable/, and points the launcher at it. Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH (and ahead of ~/.cargo/bin if you also build from source).

Homebrew

brew tap iamrohithrnair/minnal
brew install minnal

Windows

iwr https://minnal.dev/install.ps1 | iex

Installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\minnal\bin\minnal.exe. Add that directory to your PATH if the installer does not do it for you.

From source

minnal is written in Rust. You will need a recent stable toolchain via rustup.

git clone https://github.com/iamrohithrnair/minnal
cd minnal
cargo build --release
./target/release/minnal
