Install & Update

Recommended path

For most users, the safest order is:

1. install loopforge
2. run loopforge --help
3. run loopforge init
4. run loopforge config validate
5. run loopforge doctor

Option A: Download a prebuilt binary (recommended)

1. Download the archive for your OS from GitHub Releases.
2. Extract it.
3. Put loopforge (or loopforge.exe) somewhere on your PATH.

Then:

loopforge --help
loopforge init

Option B: Install from source (Cargo)

cargo install --path crates/loopforge-cli --locked
loopforge --help

Update

• If you installed via Releases: download a newer archive and replace the binary.
• If you installed via Cargo: re-run cargo install --path crates/loopforge-cli --locked.
