Installation

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew install GreyCoderK/tap/lore

Go Install

Requires Go 1.21+:

go install github.com/greycoderk/lore@latest

Pre-built Binaries

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GreyCoderK/lore/main/install.sh | sh

Or download directly from GitHub Releases and place the binary in your PATH.

Verify Installation

lore --version
# lore v1.0.0 (abc1234)

Troubleshooting

macOS: "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $(which lore)

Linux: lore: command not found

Make sure $GOPATH/bin (usually ~/go/bin) is in your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"

Add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to make it permanent.

Windows

Lore runs natively on Windows — no WSL required.

Chocolatey (recommended):

choco install lore-cli

The package is named lore-cli on Chocolatey because lore was already taken on community.chocolatey.org. The installed binary is still lore.

Go install:

go install github.com/greycoderk/lore@latest

Pre-built binary: Download the .zip from GitHub Releases, extract lore.exe, and add its folder to your PATH.

PowerShell tip: If you get an "execution policy" error, run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

WSL also works if you prefer a Unix environment on Windows.
