On Windows, install the CLI from the official WinGet Community Repository:

winget install --id rstream.rstream --exact --source winget

If winget is not available, or a new stable release has not reached the Community Repository yet, use the PowerShell installer:

& { Invoke-Expression ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString((Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://rstream.io/scripts/install.ps1' -UseBasicParsing).Content)) }

If Node.js is already part of the local toolchain, the CLI can also be installed with npm:

npm install -g @rstreamlabs/rstream-cli

When installed through npm on Windows PowerShell, the generated rstream.ps1 launcher can be blocked by the local execution policy.

Either use rstream.cmd for subsequent CLI commands:

rstream.cmd --version

Or, if permitted by your environment, allow locally installed scripts for the current user and continue with rstream:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
rstream --version

The CLI is also available as a Docker image and can be used without installing binaries on the host:

docker run --rm -it rstream/rstream:latest --help
