Installation

This page covers how to install the Boundline CLI across different platforms.

Boundline is shipped alongside Canon.

We provide official .deb packages for amd64 and arm64 via the Apply The APT repository.

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/apply-the-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apply-the.github.io/packages/apt stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apply-the.list

MacOS

Installation requires Homebrew:

brew tap apply-the/boundline
brew install boundline

Local development

For local development, unreleased validation, or when release channels are not available, you can build from source using Cargo:

cd boundline
cargo install --path .

TIP

After any installation method, run boundline doctor --install to verify the installed Boundline executable and the documented Canon pairing for the current release line.
