How to install starship

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

Paths onto a machine

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

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.

First things to confirm

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

Reading the outcome

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

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