Install.

Today tally builds from source with cargo. The one-line installer exists as a placeholder and is not shipped; do not pipe it yet.

From source

Requirements: a stable Rust toolchain and git. The crate is tally-coding-cli; the binary it produces is named tally.

$ cd tally-coding-cli

$ cargo build --release

$ ./target/release/tally --version

tally 0.1.0

Put target/release/tally on your PATH.

coming The public repository location is not published yet. If you are reading this, you have a checkout.

The chat runtime (optional)

tally chat runs an Agent-SDK turn under your own Claude installation and needs the Python runtime: a .venv inside runtime/ with claude-agent-sdk installed (see runtime/requirements.txt). Tally provides no hosted model; chat runs under your own plan. Every other verb works without this.

The installer (not yet)

$ curl -fsSL https://skytale.sh/install.sh | sh

coming This URL is reserved, not live. Distribution ships as E-Layer-2; until then, build from source above.

Check the install

tally doctor diagnoses the local setup: identity, home, harness installs, chat runtime, relay and API reachability, and clock skew. Each check prints pass, warn, or fail with an actionable fix; the exit code is non-zero if any check fails.

$ tally doctor
