This installs Comet to ~/.local/bin/comet.

Add to PATH (if needed):

# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.)
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Manual Installation

Download the latest release for your platform from the releases page:

# Example for macOS ARM64

Prerequisites

Before using Comet, you need OpenTofu (recommended) or Terraform installed.

OpenTofu (Recommended)
