Quick Install (Shell)

Unix (Linux / macOS):

curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nisoku/UPI/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nisoku/UPI/main/install.ps1 | iex

Each script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the correct binary from the latest release, and installs it to /usr/local/bin (Unix) or %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin (Windows). No dependencies required.

Override the version or destination with environment variables:

Unix:

UPI_VERSION=v0.1.0 UPI_INSTALL_DIR=~/.local/bin \
  curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nisoku/UPI/main/install.sh | sh

Windows:

$env:UPI_VERSION = "v0.1.0"
$env:UPI_INSTALL_DIR = "$env:USERPROFILE\bin"
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nisoku/UPI/main/install.ps1 | iex

From Source (crates.io)

cargo install upi

This compiles UPI from source. The binary is placed in ~/.cargo/bin/.

Pre-built Binaries

Download the latest binary for your platform from the releases page.

Available targets:

Build from Source (Git)

git clone https://github.com/Nisoku/UPI.git
cd UPI
cargo build --release
./target/release/upi --help

Requirements

• Rust 1.75+ for building from source
• SQLite: the bundled libsqlite3-sys statically links SQLite, no system library needed
• Network: only required for Repology lookups (optional; offline mode works without it)

First Run

On first run, UPI decompresses the embedded seed database to ~/.upi/db/seed.db. This happens automatically and requires no user action.
