Install and first run

Install three binaries. Sethu migrates code. Vimanam diffs specs. Nextest runs verification checks.

Key terms

Bob pack. Files that sethu install copies into a consumer repository. Example: the pack creates the /api-upgrade command, its skill references, and the migrator mode under .bob/.

Capability report. Output of sethu capabilities that lists tool versions and command status. Example: it shows vimanam 1.3.0 (supported) when a new enough Vimanam sits on PATH.

Steps

1. Install the published CLI from crates.io with Rust 1.96 or later:

   cargo install sethu --locked

2. Install Vimanam separately. Sethu requires version 1.3.0 or later on PATH:

   cargo install vimanam

3. Install the verification runner:

   cargo install cargo-nextest

4. Confirm the setup:

   sethu capabilities

Expect one line per command, each marked available. A missing helper shows up as unavailable with its version.

Version rules

Helper	Requirement	Notes
Vimanam	1.3.0 or later	A separate binary on PATH. cargo install vimanam requests the current release unless pinned.
cargo-nextest	Any recent release	Verification runs need it.
git	Any recent release	Attempt binding and report provenance need it.

Sethu never downloads or updates Vimanam. Install or upgrade that binary yourself.

sethu install installs the Bob pack into a consumer repository. It never installs Vimanam.

Source build

Binary archives for Linux, macOS, and Windows ship with each GitHub release, with SHA-256 checksums. Each archive includes the Bob pack. Archives never include Vimanam or cargo-nextest.

To build from source instead, clone the repository and run:

git clone https://github.com/noemaforge/sethu
cd sethu
cargo build --release

The binary lands at target/release/sethu. Copy it onto PATH.
