Installation

Ought ships as a single static binary. Pick whichever installer matches your environment.

Shell installer

The shell installer detects your platform and architecture and downloads the right binary.

curl -sS https://sosein.ai/install.sh | sh

This installs ought into ~/.local/bin. Add that directory to your PATH if it isn’t already. Pin a version with OUGHT_VERSION=v0.1.0 or change the install location with OUGHT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin.

Python (pipx)

If your environment is already Python-centric, install via pipx:

pipx install ought

This puts ought on your PATH in its own isolated venv. Plain pip install ought works too if you’re inside a virtualenv.

Cargo

If you have a Rust toolchain installed, you can build from source via crates.io:

cargo install ought

Homebrew

On macOS or Linux with Homebrew:

brew install soseinai/tap/ought

Verifying the install

Run the version command to confirm everything is wired up:

ought --version

You should see the installed version printed back.

Updating

Re-run whichever installer you used originally. Each installer is idempotent and replaces the existing binary in place.
