v0.8.55

> **CodeWhale** is the canonical project, command, npm package, and
> release-asset name. The legacy npm package `deepseek-tui` is
> deprecated and receives no further releases. Users coming from
> v0.8.x legacy `deepseek` / `deepseek-tui` names should migrate
> with `docs/REBRAND.md`.

## Install

### Recommended — npm (one command, both binaries)

```bash
npm install -g codewhale
```

The wrapper downloads both binaries from this Release and places them in the same directory.

### Docker / GHCR

```bash
docker run --rm -it \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \
  -v ~/.deepseek:/home/codewhale/.deepseek \
  ghcr.io/hmbown/codewhale:v0.8.55
```

The image ships the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` runtime. The `latest` tag is also updated on release.

### Cargo (Linux / macOS)

```bash
cargo install codewhale-cli codewhale-tui --locked
```

Both crates are required — `codewhale-cli` produces the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` produces the interactive runtime that the dispatcher delegates to. Installing only one binary will fail at runtime with a `MISSING_COMPANION_BINARY` error.

### Manual download — platform archives (recommended)

Each archive below contains **both** the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` runtime, plus an install script:

| Platform | Archive | Install script |
|---|---|---|
| Linux x64 | `codewhale-linux-x64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` |
| Linux ARM64 | `codewhale-linux-arm64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` |
| Linux RISC-V | `codewhale-linux-riscv64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` |
| macOS x64 | `codewhale-macos-x64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` |
| macOS ARM | `codewhale-macos-arm64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` |
| Windows x64 (installer) | `CodeWhaleSetup.exe` | NSIS setup |
| Windows x64 | `codewhale-windows-x64.zip` | `install.bat` |
| Windows x64 (portable) | `codewhale-windows-x64-portable.zip` | — |

**Unix (Linux / macOS):**
```bash
tar xzf codewhale-<platform>.tar.gz
cd codewhale-<platform>
./install.sh
```

**Windows:**
- For the installer path, run `CodeWhaleSetup.exe`; it installs both binaries under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\CodeWhale\bin` and adds that directory to the current-user PATH.
- Extract `codewhale-windows-x64.zip`
- Run `install.bat` (copies to `%USERPROFILE%\bin`)
- Add `%USERPROFILE%\bin` to your PATH

The **portable** Windows archive skips the install script — extract and run from any directory. The NSIS installer is currently unsigned and may trigger Windows SmartScreen until a signing certificate is wired into the release pipeline.

Individual binaries are also attached below for scripting and the npm wrapper. The legacy npm package `deepseek-tui` is deprecated and is not republished. For migration from v0.8.x legacy binary names, see `docs/REBRAND.md`.

### Verify (recommended)

Download the checksum manifests from this Release and verify:

```bash
# Linux — archive bundles
sha256sum -c codewhale-bundles-sha256.txt

# Linux — individual binaries
sha256sum -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt

# macOS
shasum -a 256 -c codewhale-bundles-sha256.txt
shasum -a 256 -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt
```
