How to install gemini-cli

Gemini-cli is command line utility. What follows is background, not a walkthrough. The authoritative version always lives with the project's own team.

Paths onto a machine

Expect differences between platforms. The same project may reach one system through a package index and another through a source build.

Who is behind it

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

Worth confirming early

Confirm the platform still falls inside the supported range. Projects of this kind move quickly, and older systems tend to be dropped with little ceremony.

Interpreting what you see

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

What this domain is

This domain carries reading notes only. Nothing is stored or re-published here, and every project remains where its authors placed it.

On reading release notes

Release notes are the cheapest way to catch a breaking change before it surprises you. They usually list platform shifts and removed defaults in the first few lines.
