Wrenlift

Install Wrenlift

Three paths: a one-line installer, a prebuilt binary download, or cargo install from source. The one-liner is the quickest and ships with the matching hatch CLI and wlift-lsp language server.

One-liner

Drops wlift, hatch, and wlift-lsp into ~/.local/bin, SHA256-verified against the latest GitHub release. 

curl -fsSL https://wrenlift.com/install.sh | bash

Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH. Most shell setups already include it; if yours doesn't: 

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

Installer knobs

The installer respects three env vars:

VariableDefaultPurpose
WLIFT_VERSIONlatest releasePin a tag, e.g. v0.1.19.
INSTALL_DIR~/.local/binInstall location. Use /usr/local/bin for system-wide (no sudo elevation).
WLIFT_REPOwrenlift/WrenLiftOverride the GitHub slug. Useful for testing forks.
 
WLIFT_VERSION=v0.1.19 INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin \
  curl -fsSL https://wrenlift.com/install.sh | bash

Prebuilt binary

Every tagged release ships per-platform tarballs on the GitHub releases page. Pick the asset that matches your machine, untar, and drop the binaries somewhere on PATH.

PlatformAsset suffix

Linux · ARM64-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
Windows · x86_64-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

From source

Builds the runtime + CLI against the current state of main. Requires Rust 1.79+. 

cargo install --git https://github.com/wrenlift/WrenLift.git \
              --bins --locked \
              wren_lift

Pin a commit with --rev <sha> for reproducible installs.

Verify

wlift --version
hatch --version

Both should print a version string. If the shell can't find wlift, double-check that INSTALL_DIR is on PATH.

Uninstall

The installer doesn't track files; uninstall is manual:

rm "$HOME/.local/bin/wlift" "$HOME/.local/bin/hatch" "$HOME/.local/bin/wlift-lsp"
rm -rf "$HOME/.hatch"     # registry cache + credentials (optional)
