This installs prebuilt aivault and aivaultd binaries for macOS/Linux to ~/.local/bin by default. It also copies bundled official provider plugin binaries, such as Postgres, under ~/.local/bin/providers/. Script URL: https://aivault.moldable.sh/install.sh

​
From crates.io

This installs both binaries:
  • aivault
  • aivaultd
It does not install optional provider plugin binaries. Use the install script or release artifacts when you need bundled providers such as Postgres. Crate page: https://crates.io/crates/aivault

This builds release binaries, updates local aivault/aivaultd symlinks, installs and enables the bundled Postgres provider, restarts the per-user daemon, restarts the macOS shared LaunchAgent when present, and runs a smoke check. Use pnpm install:local -- --help for options such as --install-dir, --no-postgres, --no-shared, and --no-smoke.
