The trellis CLI handles contract verification, SDK generation, service installation, upgrades, and authentication. Install it before following any of the other guides.
Option A: Download a prebuilt binary
Prebuilt binaries are published as GitHub Releases for every tagged version.
Pick the archive that matches your platform:
| Platform | Archive |
|---|---|
| Linux x86_64 | trellis-<version>-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz |
| Linux aarch64 | trellis-<version>-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz |
| macOS Intel | trellis-<version>-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz |
| macOS Apple Silicon | trellis-<version>-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz |
Download and extract:
curl -LO https://github.com/qlever-llc/trellis/releases/latest/download/trellis-<version>-<target>.tar.gz
tar xzf trellis-*.tar.gzMove the binary somewhere on your PATH:
install -m 755 trellis ~/.local/bin/trellisEach release also includes a .sha256 checksum file you can verify with sha256sum -c.
Option B: Install with Cargo
If you have a Rust toolchain installed:
cargo install trellis-cliThis builds from source and places the trellis binary in your Cargo bin directory (usually ~/.cargo/bin).
Verify
trellis --version
