Install

How to install anodizer

From crates.io

cargo install anodizer

From source

git clone https://github.com/tj-smith47/anodizer.git
cd anodizer
cargo install --path crates/cli

In GitHub Actions

Use tj-smith47/anodizer-action instead of cargo install — it caches the binary, auto-installs pipeline dependencies (nfpm, cosign, zig, snapcraft, ...), and imports signing keys in a single step:

- uses: tj-smith47/anodizer-action@v1
  with:
    auto-install: true
    args: release --clean
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

See GitHub Actions for full examples.

Verify installation

anodizer --version
