Tempest Installer

One-command installer for Tempest — the agentic development environment.

Install

npm i -g @usetempest/tempest

Run

tempest

First run prompts for the install format you want for your OS, downloads the matching signed release from GitHub, verifies its SHA-256, and hands off to the native installer. Later runs launch Tempest directly.

Why an npm installer?

• One command every developer already knows.
• Public weekly download stats out of the box.
• Zero-dep JS shim — nothing bundled, nothing shipped unsigned. The real Tempest binary comes from GitHub Releases with SHA-256 verification.
