sqry is the command-line interface for local semantic code search.

Install

Recommended binary installers:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/verivus-oss/sqry/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --component all

Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/verivus-oss/sqry/main/scripts/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1
.\install.ps1 -Component all

Source install:

cargo install --path sqry-cli
cargo install --path sqry-mcp
cargo install --path sqry-lsp
cargo install --path sqry-daemon

The public release assets include sqry, sqry-mcp, sqry-lsp, and sqryd. Homebrew is the current package-manager surface backed by the public release manifest. The installer scripts verify SHA256 checksums by default; optional signature verification checks the oss-distribute.yml release bundle identity used by the current installer scripts.

Plugin selection:

The default fast path excludes compiled non-default plugins. json is high-wall-clock; optional specialty plugins include apex, abap, servicenow-xanadu-js, servicenow-xml, terraform, puppet, and pulumi when compiled in.
