Installation

Install with mise (recommended)

If you use mise for tool management, you can install Fora from the pre-built GitHub releases using the github backend:

mise use -g github:samb-t/fora

Or manually add it to your mise config:

# In your mise.toml
[tools]
"github:samb-t/fora" = "latest"

Then run:

mise install

Quick install

The install script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the right binary from the latest release, and puts it in ~/.local/bin:

curl -fsSL https://samb-t.github.io/fora/install.sh | sh

Or with wget:

wget -qO- https://samb-t.github.io/fora/install.sh | sh

Options

Environment variable	Description	Default
FORA_VERSION	Install a specific release tag (e.g. v0.1.0-20260415-abc1234)	latest
FORA_INSTALL_DIR	Directory to install the binary into	~/.local/bin
FORA_QUIET	Suppress informational output (1 or true)	—

• macOS (x86_64, Apple Silicon)
• Windows (x86_64)

Prerequisites

• Azure CLI — installed and authenticated (az login)

Install from source

The following methods require the Rust toolchain (1.88 or later). Install it via rustup or a tool manager like mise.

Install with mise (from source)

If you prefer to build from source using mise, you can use the cargo backend:

mise use -g cargo:https://github.com/samb-t/fora.git

Or manually add it to your mise config:

# In your mise.toml
[tools]
"cargo:https://github.com/samb-t/fora.git" = "latest"

Then run:

mise install

Install with Cargo

Clone the repository and install the fora binary:

git clone https://github.com/samb-t/fora.git
cd fora
cargo install --path fora_cli

This builds the fora binary and places it in your Cargo bin directory (usually ~/.cargo/bin/). Make sure this directory is on your PATH.

To verify the installation:

fora --help
