Installation Guide¶

npm¶

Install the current stable release with npm install --global forgevena@1.3.0.

Verified archive¶

Download forgevena-1.3.0.tgz and RELEASE_SHA256SUMS from the latest release, verify the checksum, install with npm install --global ./forgevena-1.3.0.tgz, then run forgevena version and forgevena doctor.

Standalone executables¶

The v1.3.0 release publishes forgevena-win-x64.exe, forgevena-linux-x64, and forgevena-macos-x64. Download the matching executable and RELEASE_SHA256SUMS, verify SHA-256 before execution, and grant execute permission on Linux or macOS. npm remains the supported arm64 installation path for this release.

Homebrew¶

The maintained Forgevena Homebrew tap installs the immutable v1.3.0 native executable on Linux and Intel macOS:

brew install rohitkumarnaidu/forgevena/forgevena
forgevena version
forgevena doctor

To remove it later, run brew uninstall forgevena; optionally remove the Forgevena source from Homebrew as well. The formula is x64-only because the current native release assets are x64-only; use npm on arm64.

Source checkout¶

Clone the repository, use Node.js 20.19+, run npm test, and execute node ./bin/forgevena.js help.

Containers¶

Build Dockerfile.cli, run the image with version, and mount a disposable project directory for modifying commands.

Homebrew, Winget, and Chocolatey packages are generated from the same immutable native executables. The Homebrew tap is published. The Winget submission and Chocolatey submission remain subject to independent external moderation. See Publishing Guide and Compatibility Matrix.
