Installation

Download a CLI archive for Linux or macOS from GitHub Releases, together with its .sha256 file. Verify it with sha256sum -c <archive>.sha256 on Linux or shasum -a 256 -c <archive>.sha256 on macOS, extract the archive, and place unobin on your PATH.

Install the Unobin CLI with Go:

go install github.com/cloudboss/unobin/cmd/unobin@latest

Check that the command is on your path:

unobin version

The unobin CLI is used for developing factories. The end user of the factory only needs the compiled factory, not the unobin command.

A compiled factory is a Go program, and unobin compile --build runs go mod tidy and go build in the generated output directory. The dependency on Go is managed by unobin, so you do not need it preinstalled.

Editor packages are optional. See Editor setup if you want diagnostics, formatting, completion, and syntax highlighting for .ub files.
