Foundation CLI — release mirror

Public distribution point for prebuilt Foundation CLI (foundation) binaries.

The CLI source is closed source and is built in a private Chroma repository. This repository contains only the compiled release artifacts — it is not the source. Releases here are published automatically by CI on each tagged build.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chroma-core/foundation-cli/main/install.sh | bash

The installer downloads the right binary for your platform, verifies its sha256, and installs it to ~/.foundation/bin/foundation.

Options (environment variables):

• FOUNDATION_VERSION — install a specific version (e.g. FOUNDATION_VERSION=0.0.9) instead of the latest stable release.
• FOUNDATION_HOME — install prefix (default ~/.foundation); the binary lands in $FOUNDATION_HOME/bin.

Currently supported: macOS (Apple Silicon). More platforms to follow.

Downloads (manual)

Prebuilt binaries are attached to each entry on the Releases page.

Release assets are named:

foundation-cli-v<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz
foundation-cli-v<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz.sha256

Verify the download before use:

shasum -a 256 -c foundation-cli-v<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz.sha256
tar -xzf foundation-cli-v<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz
./foundation version
