Install the CLI
Memcrate ships as a single static binary. Three install paths, pick the one that fits.
macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://memcrate.dev/install.sh | sh
This drops memcrate into ~/.local/bin/. If that’s not on your PATH, the installer will tell you what to add.
Windows
irm https://memcrate.dev/install.ps1 | iex
Installs to %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\ and updates your user PATH (both persistent and the current session, so memcrate is callable immediately).
Cargo
If you already have a Rust toolchain installed:
cargo install memcrate
This is the standard path for Intel Macs (the install script no longer ships an x86_64-apple-darwin binary).
Verify the install
memcrate --version
You should see memcrate 0.3.3 (or whatever’s current). If you get command not found, open a new terminal and try again — your shell may not have picked up the updated PATH.
Updating
There’s no built-in memcrate update yet (planned for v0.4). For now, re-run the install one-liner — it pulls the latest release and overwrites the binary in place.
