Installation

Install TSI with a single command. The installer downloads TSI source and builds the Rust binary (or uses a pre-built binary when available):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PanterSoft/tsi/main/tsi-bootstrap.sh | sh

Or using wget:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PanterSoft/tsi/main/tsi-bootstrap.sh | sh

The installer will automatically: - Download TSI source code (via git clone or tarball) - Build TSI using Rust (cargo) or download a pre-built binary - Install TSI to ~/.tsi

Custom installation location: 

PREFIX=/opt/tsi curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PanterSoft/tsi/main/tsi-bootstrap.sh | sh

Repair/Update existing installation: 

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PanterSoft/tsi/main/tsi-bootstrap.sh | sh -s -- --repair

Or using environment variable: 

REPAIR=1 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PanterSoft/tsi/main/tsi-bootstrap.sh | sh

This will rebuild and reinstall TSI, useful for: - Fixing broken installations - Updating to the latest version - Rebuilding after system changes

After installation, add to your PATH: 

export PATH="$HOME/.tsi/bin:$PATH"

Manual Build (from source)

Requires Rust toolchain:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PanterSoft/tsi.git
cd tsi

# Build
cargo build --release

# Install (Unix)
make install PREFIX=~/.tsi

# Or install manually
cp target/release/tsi ~/.tsi/bin/tsi
chmod +x ~/.tsi/bin/tsi

Windows: The binary will be at target\release\tsi.exe. Copy it to your desired location and add that directory to your PATH.

Requirements

To run TSI: None — the binary is self-contained.

To build TSI from source: Rust toolchain (rustc, cargo).

To build packages with TSI: - macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools (clang, make) - Linux: gcc (or clang) and make - Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools or MinGW

TSI uses built-in HTTP and archive extraction — no system curl, wget, or tar required for downloads.

Add to PATH

After installation, add TSI to your PATH:

# For bash/zsh (Unix)
export PATH="$HOME/.tsi/bin:$PATH"

# Or add to your shell profile
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.tsi/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Windows (PowerShell): 

$env:Path += ";$env:USERPROFILE\.tsi\bin"

Windows (permanent): Add %USERPROFILE%\.tsi\bin to your system PATH via System Properties.

Bash: 

source ~/.tsi/share/completions/tsi.bash
# Or add to ~/.bashrc:
echo 'source ~/.tsi/share/completions/tsi.bash' >> ~/.bashrc

Zsh: 

source ~/.tsi/share/completions/tsi.zsh
# Or add to ~/.zshrc:
