Installation¶

Rune is written in Rust. You need Cargo (via rustup) to build the CLI.

Prerequisites¶

• Rust — Install from rustup.rs

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Build from Source¶

Option 1: Install Script¶

From the repository root:

./scripts/install.sh

This script:

1. Runs cargo build --release -p rune
2. Copies the binary to $RUNE_INSTALL (or $HOME/.local/bin by default)
3. Prompts you to add that directory to PATH if needed

Option 2: Manual Build¶

git clone https://github.com/raftio/rune.git
cd rune
cargo build --release -p rune

The binary is at target/release/rune. Optionally, copy it to a directory in your PATH:

cp target/release/rune ~/.local/bin/
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"

Verify Installation¶

rune --version
