heides (npm installer)

Installs the prebuilt HEIDES binary for your platform and exposes the heides command. HEIDES is a deterministic code analysis harness that gives AI agents senses, memory and judgment for code.

npm install -g heides
heides --help

On install, the matching binary is downloaded from GitHub Releases into the package bin/ folder. No Rust toolchain needed.

Supported platforms
