The preferred install path today is the Cargo-based workflow:
- install Rust and Cargo
- run
cargo install cargo-ai --locked - verify with
cargo ai --help
This path keeps the full CLI available, including hatch, and avoids platform-specific standalone packaging differences while Cargo AI's broader distribution story is still being built out.
Use the Cargo install guide here:
- macOS: Cargo-first is the preferred install path today.
- Linux: Cargo-first is the preferred install path today.
- Windows: Cargo-first works today; standalone Windows distribution is a later install/distribution phase.
