bolna-cli is a single static Go binary — no runtime, no interpreter, no CGO dependency. There’s no Homebrew tap or prebuilt GitHub release binary yet, so these two paths are the only way to install it right now. Best for almost everyone with Go installed locally — the binary is built on your machine, so it never triggers an OS code-signing warning.
This installs bolna into $(go env GOPATH)/bin.
If nothing prints, add it to your shell profile:

​
Build from Source

Best for contributors or anyone who wants a specific commit, or wants to inspect the source before running it. Requires Go 1.21 or later.

​
Verify Installation

bolna version prints the installed version, commit hash, and build date. bolna-cli is in beta — pin a version in CI if you depend on exact output shapes.

​
macOS: “cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified”

This Gatekeeper warning shows up on any binary that isn’t signed with an Apple Developer certificate — a one-time speed bump, not a sign anything is wrong.
In Finder, right-click the bolna binary, choose Open, then confirm in the dialog. macOS remembers your choice after that.
go install builds the binary locally, so it never picks up the quarantine attribute in the first place.
