How to install navi

Navi 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

In practice this means one of a handful of routes: an operating system package index, a registry tied to a language, a version manager, or a source tree built with the project's own tooling. Which one applies is decided by the platform and by the maintainers.

Who is behind it

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

First things to confirm

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

If the outcome is not what was expected, the cause is nearly always environmental: an earlier copy, a different channel, or a cache that has not been refreshed.

What this domain is

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

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.
