Installation

rstream ships a command-line client named rstream. The CLI can be used interactively for development, and it can also run as an agent in CI and on servers when rstream connectivity is needed without embedding an SDK.

The hosted distribution currently provides installer scripts for Unix-like systems and Windows, a Homebrew tap for macOS, a Debian repository for APT-based installations, a winget source for Windows, and a Docker image that can run the CLI without installing binaries on the host.

For platform-specific steps, use the dedicated pages: Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Updates

The upgrade workflow depends on how the CLI was installed. In practice, upgrades are performed by repeating the original installation method: re-running the installer script, using the system package manager for APT-based installs, or pulling a newer Docker image.
