Installation

Install TSI with a single command. The installer downloads TSI source and builds it:

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 your C compiler - 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

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"
