Installation

OpenVet ships as a single static binary called openvet. The most reliable install path today is cargo install; precompiled release binaries are published per tagged release on GitLab.

With cargo #

You’ll need a Rust toolchain (1.75 or later recommended). If you don’t already have one, install rustup.

cargo install openvet

Verify the install:

openvet --version

From a release binary #

Prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are attached to each release on the openvet releases page. Download the archive for your platform, extract it, and place openvet somewhere on your $PATH.

From source #

If you want to build from a working tree (for example, to run an unreleased fix):

git clone https://gitlab.com/openvet-org/openvet.git
cd openvet
cargo install --path cli

What you get #

The install ships a single binary. The most common subcommands are init, update, check, and the audit family — see the CLI reference for the full surface.
