How to install duf

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

Paths onto a machine

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

Ownership sits with the project's own contributors. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by them, and none of it is mediated here.

Prior checks

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

Reading the outcome

Most unexpected behaviour traces back to resolution rather than to the project. An older copy sitting earlier in the path, or a version manager pointing somewhere else, will do it every time.

What this domain is

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

Keeping environments clean

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