The fastest way to try Fallow is to run it directly:
If you use Fallow often, install it globally.
npm (recommended)
pnpm
yarn
Cargo
Docker
Binary download
Prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows. No Rust toolchain required.The npm package uses optionalDependencies to download the correct platform binary automatically.
Use this if you already have a Rust toolchain. Use this when you want to run fallow without installing Node.js, npm, or Rust on the host.docker build -t fallow:local https://github.com/fallow-rs/fallow.git#main
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/workspace" --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" fallow:local audit --format json --quiet
/workspace. The --user mapping keeps .fallow/ caches and generated reports owned by your host user. Download prebuilt binaries from GitHub Releases.| Target | Platform |
