Installation

Package Managers

Homebrew (macOS)

brew install kexi/tap/vibe

Deno (JSR)

deno install -A --global jsr:@kexi/vibe

Permissions: For more security, you can specify exact permissions instead of -A:

deno install --global --allow-run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-env --allow-ffi jsr:@kexi/vibe

Note

--allow-ffi enables optimized Copy-on-Write file cloning on macOS (APFS) and Linux (Btrfs/XFS). The tool works without it but may be slightly slower for directory copies.

mise

Add to your .mise.toml:

[tools]
"jsr:@kexi/vibe" = "latest"

Then run:

mise install
