soar-core 0.8.1

🪄 Quickstart

[!TIP]

Soar comes as a single-file, statically-linked executable with no dependencies that you can simply download & run.

The install script does this & more automatically for you.

❯ cURL
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pkgforge/soar/main/install.sh" | sh

❯ wget
wget -qO- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pkgforge/soar/main/install.sh" | sh

[!NOTE]

Please read & verify what's inside the script before running it

The script is also available through https://soar.qaidvoid.dev/install.sh & https://soar.pkgforge.dev/install.sh

Additionally, if you want to customize your installation, please read the docs @ https://soar.qaidvoid.dev/installation.html
