Installing the CLI

Updated Jul 27, 2026

Agents can install Dakar's review command from a checkout with Bun:

./install.sh

The installer calls Bun with the absolute checkout path and exposes dakar-review. The package remains private; the command is meant for local or git-based installation, not npm publication. install.sh accepts no install arguments; run ./install.sh --help for its short usage text. On each repeated installer run, install.sh first executes bun remove -g dakar before reinstalling, preventing an interrupted installation from leaving duplicate dakar entries while keeping the shared Bun lockfile and other global packages intact.

For direct Bun invocation, use an absolute path or file: URL:

bun install -g "$PWD"
bun install -g "file:$PWD"

Do not use bun install -g . for this local install path. In Bun 1.3.11, bare . is parsed as an empty package spec before Dakar's package.json is read, so Bun installs @ and creates no dakar-review bin link.
