@bext-stack/cli

Install the Bext engine with its matching PRISM framework and TypeScript compiler:

npm install -g @bext-stack/cli
bext --version
bext dev ./my-site

npx @bext-stack/cli --help and bunx @bext-stack/cli --help also work. The first invocation downloads the versioned Linux x64 engine from get.bext.dev, decompresses it, verifies SHA256, and stores it under ~/.cache/bext-stack-cli/<version>/. Subsequent invocations reuse that file. An npm postinstall hook prefetches it when package scripts are enabled.

Bext 0.2.11 is paired with @bext-stack/framework 0.2.0 and @bext-stack/tsc-rs 0.4.2 through exact npm dependencies. The CLI sets their runtime paths when it invokes the engine. This release supports Linux x64 with glibc 2.31 or newer; other builds are listed on the installation page.

Overrides:

• BEXT_CLI_BINARY=/path/to/bext uses an existing executable.
• BEXT_CLI_CACHE_DIR=/path selects the download cache.
• BEXT_CLI_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 skips postinstall prefetching.
• TSCRS_PATH and BEXT_SHARED_FRAMEWORK_DIR select custom compiler/framework paths.
