The direct installers detect the current platform, download a GitHub Release asset, and verify its SHA-256 checksum.

The npm package installs the same checksummed release binary. nix shell opens a temporary environment without adding Pentect to your profile. Cargo builds Pentect from source and therefore takes longer than the binary installers.

Verify the installation

pentect doctor

doctor checks whether Pentect and supported clients are ready. If it reports a repairable problem, review the proposed change before using:

pentect doctor --fix
