Installation

Code Buster requires Dart 3.11 or newer. The executable is named cb.

Build from source

Run these commands from the code-buster/ directory:

dart pub get
dart compile exe bin/cb.dart -o build/cb
./build/cb version

The compiled executable is self-contained and can be copied to a directory on your PATH.

Workspace installer

From the parent development workspace, run:

./install-code-buster.sh

The installer builds the current local source and installs cb under ~/.local/bin by default. Select another prefix when needed:

PREFIX=/opt ./install-code-buster.sh

Ensure $PREFIX/bin is on PATH, then verify the installation:

cb version

Run without compiling

During development, invoke the Dart entry point directly:

dart run bin/cb.dart version

Use the compiled executable for performance measurements and release evidence so startup behavior matches distributed builds.
