Installation

Cargo (from crates.io)

Works on any platform with Rust installed.

cargo install modelsdev

Requires Rust (stable). Install via rustup if you don't have it.

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew install models

models is in Homebrew core -- updates land through homebrew-core bump PRs.

Migrating from the tap? Run brew untap arimxyer/tap to remove the old tap. Updates now come through Homebrew core and may take a bit longer to land after a release.

Scoop (Windows)

scoop install extras/models

Scoop Extras handles updates automatically.

Migrating from the custom bucket? Run scoop bucket rm arimxyer to remove the old bucket.

Verifying downloads

Each GitHub Release includes a SHA256SUMS file. After downloading a binary, .deb, or .rpm:

# Download SHA256SUMS from the same release
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

Setting up command aliases

models supports standalone agents, benchmarks, and mstatus commands via symlinks. This lets you type agents status instead of models agents status.

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s $(which models) ~/.local/bin/agents
ln -s $(which models) ~/.local/bin/benchmarks
ln -s $(which models) ~/.local/bin/mstatus

You can also use models link to create all three symlinks automatically. Alias names are configurable via the [aliases] section in your config file (see Configuration).

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH:

• bash/zsh: Add export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to your shell config
• fish: Run fish_add_path ~/.local/bin

Shell completions

Generate completions for your shell:

models completions bash    # bash
models completions fish    # fish
models completions zsh     # zsh

Follow your shell's instructions for installing completion files. For example, with fish:

models completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/models.fish
