Numinance
CLI

Install numi

Build and run the open numi CLI from a source checkout. Release binaries and Homebrew are planned and have no commands yet.

View as .mdUpdated
Pre-alpha

Building from source is the only available method. Other methods are planned.

The only real install today is a source build with the Go toolchain. Installing numi does not install the Numinance engine.

Prerequisites

A Go toolchain that satisfies go.mod: go 1.27, toolchain go1.27.3. See the shared install guide for the wider setup this page shares wording with.

Install methods

Pre-alpha Available.

git clone https://github.com/dsha256/numinance-spec.git
cd numinance-spec
go run ./cli/numi version

To produce a binary instead of running through go run:

go build -o ./bin/numi ./cli/numi
./bin/numi version

A prebuilt open CLI built from the checkout this site documents printed:

0.0.0-dev

Check that it works

./bin/numi validate --files schemas/examples/AutonomyPolicy

✓ verifiednumi validate --files on one example kind, from the repository root· numinance-spec @ 3c74d59 · 2026-11-09· 0

Run the repository's tests for the command with go test ./cli/... ./sdk/go/cli ./sdk/go/evidenceverify from the checkout root.

Failure modes

SymptomCauseResponse
Toolchain download or version errorLocal Go older than go.modInstall a Go toolchain that meets go.mod
numi: command not foundYou built to ./bin/numi and did not put it on PATHRun it by path, or add the directory to PATH yourself
Relative example paths not foundYou ran the binary from another directoryRun from the checkout root

What this does not give you

The open build validates, scaffolds and verifies. It cannot resolve a profile, run a change, export evidence or reach a runtime. See open build versus engine build.
