Installation

Get noodle on your machine in under a minute. Three ways, take your pick.

Quick install

curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wilfredinni/noodle/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Detects your OS and architecture, downloads the latest binary from GitHub Releases, and drops it at ~/.local/bin/noodle.

If ~/.local/bin isn’t on your $PATH, the script will let you know — just add this to your shell config (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.):

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Custom install location? Set NOODLE_INSTALL_DIR:

NOODLE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -LsSf ... | sh

Need a specific version? Pin it with NOODLE_VERSION:

NOODLE_VERSION=v0.1.0 curl -LsSf ... | sh

Homebrew

brew tap wilfredinni/noodle
brew trust wilfredinni/noodle
brew install noodle

From source

Requires Bun.

git clone https://github.com/wilfredinni/noodle
cd noodle
bun install
bun run build:bin

The binary lands at ./noodle. Move it somewhere on your $PATH.
