Installation

Get Releasaurus installed and running in under a minute.

Fastest: Pre-built Binary (Recommended)

Install via cargo-binstall for the quickest setup:

cargo binstall releasaurus

This downloads a pre-compiled binary—much faster than compiling from source.

Install and compile from Rust’s package registry:

cargo install releasaurus

This compiles from source, which takes longer but ensures compatibility with your system.

Build the latest development version:

git clone https://github.com/robgonnella/releasaurus.git
cd releasaurus
cargo install --path .

Prerequisites: Rust 1.80+ and Git

Use the official Docker image:

# Pull the image
docker pull rgonnella/releasaurus:latest

# Run commands
docker run --rm rgonnella/releasaurus:latest --help

Download pre-built binaries directly from the releases page.

Confirm Releasaurus is working:

releasaurus --version
