Install

What is available today for the nuvelics command-line tool, how to get access, and what it needs on your machine.

The nuvelics tool is not yet available as a download. There is no installer, package or release to fetch, and this page does not promise a date for one.

How to get access

Today the tool runs from Nuvelics' own source code, through Bun. That is why it is not a package you can install on your own. If you are an integrator and want to run it, ask Nuvelics for access. When a downloadable build exists, this page is where it will be described.

The command reference is published now, so you can see what the tool does before you have it.

What it needs

Once you have the tool running, the machine it runs on needs an operating system keychain. The tool stores your credential there and nowhere else:

  • On macOS it uses the built-in keychain, through the security command that ships with the system.
  • On Linux it uses secret-tool, from the libsecret-tools package, backed by a Secret Service provider such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet.

If no keychain is available, signing in fails and stores nothing. That rules out most build servers and bare containers. The tool reads no environment variable that carries a credential, so there is no workaround for a machine without a keychain today.

To check that the tool runs, ask for its version:

nuvelics --version

Then sign in.
