ANIP is available across multiple ecosystems. Pick your language to get started.

CLI

The ANIP CLI is distributed from GitHub release assets as prebuilt archives for macOS, Linux, and Windows:

anip version
anip generate --help
anip validate --help

Each release includes:

• anip_<version>_darwin_amd64.tar.gz
• anip_<version>_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
• anip_<version>_linux_amd64.tar.gz
• anip_<version>_linux_arm64.tar.gz
• anip_<version>_windows_amd64.zip
• anip_<version>_windows_arm64.zip
• anip_<version>_checksums.txt
• anip.rb Homebrew formula for anip-protocol/homebrew-anip tap installation

The primary command is anip. Compatibility wrappers anip-generate and anip-verify are included in the macOS/Linux archives and formula. Windows archives include anip.exe, anip-generate.cmd, and anip-verify.cmd.

Homebrew installation uses the separate anip-protocol/homebrew-anip tap:

brew tap anip-protocol/anip
brew install anip

Studio

Studio runs as standalone Docker services. Treat it as the design and package-authoring application, not as a runtime adapter that every service mounts.

Standalone local compose with Postgres:

cd studio
docker compose up --build

Read-only seeded demo mode:

STUDIO_READ_ONLY=1 STUDIO_SEED_SHOWCASES=1 docker compose up --build

Direct standalone image build:

docker build -t anip-studio studio/
docker run -p 3000:8080 anip-studio
