Install the Niblet CLI

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/commacollectivehq/niblet-pixlet/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

The installer detects the operating system and CPU architecture, downloads the matching release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and installs niblet in /usr/local/bin. If pixlet is not already present, it also creates a compatibility symlink.

If /usr/local/bin is not writable, choose another directory already on your PATH:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/commacollectivehq/niblet-pixlet/main/scripts/install.sh | \
  NIBLET_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" sh

Build from source

Install Go, Node.js, and libwebp, then run:

git clone https://github.com/commacollectivehq/niblet-pixlet.git
cd niblet-pixlet
npm --prefix frontend ci
npm --prefix frontend run build
make build

Copy the resulting niblet binary into a directory on your PATH.

The release installer currently supports macOS and Linux. Windows developers can build the Pixlet-compatible runtime from source; a signed Niblet Windows installer is not yet part of the release path.
