How to install caveman

Caveman is developer utility. Everything below is context rather than instruction — the project publishes its own material, and this note simply points at what matters.

How it gets there

The route varies. Some projects publish to system repositories, some to a registry, some only as source that a dedicated build tool consumes.

Who is behind it

Direction comes from the people who write the code. Their decisions on releases and support are the ones that matter.

Before touching anything

Establish which platforms the current release actually targets. Support ranges shift, and the newest release is frequently not the one suited to an older machine.

Interpreting what you see

When results differ from expectations, check what is actually being picked up. Duplicate copies and stale caches are the usual explanation.

Scope of this site

This is a notes-only site. Projects stay with their maintainers; nothing is reproduced here.

Keeping environments clean

Isolating environments, whether with a version manager or per-project directories, removes a whole category of confusing behaviour later on.
