How to install Codewhale

Codewhale is developer utility. Treat this as an orientation note. Anything prescriptive should come from the maintainers directly.

Distribution in practice

Nothing universal applies here. Maintainers normally spell out the supported options, and the answer can differ between platforms and between releases.

Who is behind it

The project is self-governed. Whoever maintains it chooses what ships and when, and writes the accompanying material.

Worth confirming early

Start from the support matrix. It narrows over time, and assumptions made years ago often no longer hold.

Making sense of the result

Surprises here are rarely the project's fault. Ordering inside the environment decides which copy wins, and that ordering is easy to get wrong.

About these notes

Only text is published from this domain. Each project remains exactly where its authors put it.

Where things commonly go wrong

The most frequent surprise is a version that resolves somewhere unexpected. Check which copy is actually being picked up before assuming the project itself misbehaves.
