Install¶

clincalc is a single self-contained binary - no runtime dependencies, no network access, no configuration. Pick whichever route suits you.

Release installers¶

Once the first GitHub Release has been cut, the docs site hosts short installer proxies that fetch cargo-dist's latest signed release installer:

curl -LsSf https://pacharanero.github.io/clincalc/install.sh | sh

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://pacharanero.github.io/clincalc/install.ps1 | iex"

The short URLs proxy to cargo-dist's real installer assets on the latest GitHub Release. If you need to pin a version or audit the installer first, fetch the release asset directly from GitHub.

With Cargo (from source)¶

The route that works before the first release, and the easiest route for contributors:

cargo install --git https://github.com/pacharanero/clincalc clincalc

This builds and installs the clincalc binary into ~/.cargo/bin. You need a Rust toolchain with edition 2024 support (rustup is the easy way). The package is named clincalc; the installed binary is also clincalc.

From a clone¶

Clone if you want the source, the example input files, or to contribute:

git clone https://github.com/pacharanero/clincalc
cd clincalc
cargo build --release          # binary at ./target/release/clincalc
./target/release/clincalc list

To put it on your PATH from the clone:

cargo install --path .

A clone also gives you examples/ - ready-made JSON inputs used throughout the Walkthrough.

Verify it works¶

$ clincalc list
feverpain     FeverPAIN Score
asrs          ASRS-v1.1 Adult ADHD Screener
phq9          PHQ-9 Depression Severity
gad7          GAD-7 Anxiety Severity
...

If you see the catalogue, you are ready. Head to the Walkthrough.

Requirements¶

• A Rust toolchain (edition 2024) - install via rustup.
• Nothing else at runtime: clincalc reads JSON in and writes JSON or text out.
