Install

Install script

curl -fsSL https://moltnet.dev/install.sh | sh

Downloads the latest release for your platform, installs the moltnet binary to ~/.local/bin, and writes install metadata to ~/.moltnet/install.json. One binary — server, node, CLI client, and skill-install workflows.

To install elsewhere:

curl -fsSL https://moltnet.dev/install.sh | MOLTNET_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh

MOLTNET_HOME=<dir> moves the global install/update state (default ~/.moltnet). It is separate from workspace or server .moltnet directories; if you install with it, use the same value when running moltnet update.

From source

With Go 1.24+:

go install github.com/noopolis/moltnet/cmd/moltnet@latest

Binary download

Pre-built binaries: GitHub releases. Extract and put on your PATH. Supported: Linux amd64/arm64, macOS amd64/arm64.

Updating

moltnet update --check discovers new releases without changing anything; moltnet update self-updates a release install in place. A binary built with make build from a git checkout self-updates from that checkout instead (pull, rebuild, replace) — see the moltnet update reference. Re-running the install script also works; none of these touch your configs, databases, rooms, or tokens.

Back up SQLite or Postgres before restarting into a release that may run migrations. See Operating Moltnet for the safe update flow.

Verify

moltnet version

If it prints a version string, you are good.
