Install

linr is a single self-contained Rust binary — no runtime, no dependencies. The vendor curl | sh installer below is the recommended way in; other paths follow.

Vendor install (curl | sh) — recommended

The site hosts install.sh, so the first install is a short bootstrap that drops the binary on your PATH and records an install receipt — so linr can update itself later in place with linr self update:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://linr.ysapp.net/install.sh | sh

This is the recommended method: the receipt is what lets linr self update upgrade the binary in place. Installs from other paths (Homebrew, Cargo) do not write a receipt and upgrade through their own package manager instead.

Alternatives

Homebrew (macOS and Linux)

Once the tap ships a formula, Homebrew works too — upgrades come through brew upgrade (a Homebrew install does not self-update via linr self update):

brew install dixson3/tap/linr
brew upgrade linr          # update later

The dixson3/tap tap does not ship a linr formula yet; this is the intended shape once it does.

Cargo

cargo install --git https://github.com/dixson3/linr

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/dixson3/linr.git
cd linr
cargo build --release   # binary at target/release/linr

# Optionally put this build on your PATH:
./target/release/linr self install

Which one should I use?

Self-update

linr self manages the binary itself. linr self update only upgrades a vendor install (the curl | sh installer above), which records an install receipt; Homebrew installs upgrade via brew upgrade linr, and Cargo/source installs are re-installed manually.

linr self update            # fetch the latest release and swap in place
linr self update --check    # report whether an update is available; change nothing
linr self install           # record the running binary on your PATH
