# Install the CLI

> Signed installers for macOS, Linux, and Windows

The release contains the native `veridical` client and its self-contained
`veridical-engine` sidecar. Install both in the same directory.

### macOS and Linux

Download `install.sh` from the intended GitHub release, inspect it, then run:

```bash theme={null}
VERIDICAL_RELEASE=0.145.0 sh ./install.sh
veridical --version
```

The installer verifies SHA-256 for every platform. When `cosign` is installed
it also verifies the GitHub Actions keyless signature. macOS releases require a
valid code signature.

### Windows

Download `install.ps1` from the release and inspect it:

```powershell theme={null}
.\install.ps1 -Release 0.145.0
veridical.exe --version
```

PowerShell verifies SHA-256 and requires valid Authenticode signatures for both
binaries. Package-manager manifests are also produced for Homebrew, Scoop, and
winget once the release is published.

<Warning>
  `0.145.0` identifies the current build baseline, not an assertion that a public
  release already exists. Use the version published by your workspace
  administrator.
