Installation

Protocol Canary does not yet publish prebuilt binaries or checksums (see Releases). The documented install path is cargo install against a pinned release tag.

Prerequisites

A Rust/Cargo toolchain. The repository pins 1.91.0 in its own rust-toolchain.toml; cargo install will use whatever toolchain is active on your machine (rustup will fetch a matching one automatically if you use it).
Network access to crates.io (for dependency resolution) and GitHub (to fetch the source).

No other runtime dependency is required. There is no Docker requirement and no OS-specific instructions beyond “a working Rust toolchain” — this project does not claim support for a specific operating system beyond what the Rust toolchain itself supports.

Install the current release

cargo install --git https://github.com/StellarCanary/Protocol-Canary --tag v0.1.1 --locked

--tag v0.1.1 pins the exact, currently verified release — never main, and never an unpinned “latest”.
--locked uses the exact dependency versions in the repository’s own committed Cargo.lock, rather than whatever the latest compatible versions happen to be at install time.

Verify the install:

stellar-canary version

stellar-canary 0.1.1

Alternative: build from a local checkout

git clone https://github.com/StellarCanary/Protocol-Canary
cd Protocol-Canary
cargo install --path crates/canary-cli

Alternative: run without installing (development)

From a workspace checkout, every command can be run directly through Cargo without installing a binary at all:

cargo run -p canary-cli -- check
cargo run -p canary-cli -- inspect
cargo run -p canary-cli -- fixtures --protocol 28
