Installation

Aevrin supports Python 3.10 or newer on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Install it from PyPI with pip or pipx, or from npm with Node.js 18 or newer.

Choose a package manager

pipx install aevrin

Install by platform

brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath
pipx install aevrin

Restart the shell after ensurepath, then verify the installed command:

aevrin --version
aevrin --help

Scanner prerequisites

Local source scans run version-pinned scanner containers. Install Docker Desktop or a compatible Docker Engine, start it before scanning, and allocate at least 4 GB of memory. Windows must use Linux containers and allow bind mounts from its temporary directory. Live URL inspection does not need a source checkout, but still needs outbound HTTPS.

Upgrade, repair, or remove

pipx upgrade aevrin
aevrin --version

Use pipx reinstall aevrin to repair an installation. To remove everything cleanly, run aevrin logout, aevrin hook logout, then pipx uninstall aevrin.

For pip, repair with python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir aevrin. For npm, upgrade or repair with npm install --global aevrin@latest and remove with npm uninstall --global aevrin.
