Installation

tenant-emit is distributed as a prebuilt binary across multiple ecosystems. No Rust toolchain is required to install or run it.

Choose the package manager that matches your project's ecosystem.

npm (TypeScript/JS)

Install tenant-emit as an exact-version devDependency, ideally pinned next to spec-spine and tenant-tail.

npm i -D tenant-emit

This installs a thin launcher and an optional platform package (@tenant-emit/cli-<os>-<cpu>) containing the prebuilt binary. You can run it via npx:

npx --no-install tenant-emit build-certificate <run-dir> ...

PyPI (Python)

You can run tenant-emit via uvx without explicitly installing it, or install it as a persistent tool.

# Run directly with no install
uvx tenant-emit build-certificate <run-dir> ...

# Or install as a persistent tool
uv tool install tenant-emit

# Or install into a project/venv
pip install tenant-emit

This is a binary distribution, not a Python binding. pip/uv selects the wheel matching your host platform tag and installs the binary onto your PATH.

crates.io (Rust)

If you are on an unsupported platform (like Alpine Linux / musl) or prefer to build from source, use Cargo.

cargo install tenant-emit-cli

This compiles the tenant-emit binary from source and places it in your Cargo bin directory.

Supported Platforms

The prebuilt binaries distributed via npm and PyPI support the following targets:

Host	npm optional dependency	PyPI wheel platform tag	Release triple
macOS arm64	@tenant-emit/cli-darwin-arm64	macosx_11_0_arm64	aarch64-apple-darwin
macOS x86_64	@tenant-emit/cli-darwin-x64	macosx_10_12_x86_64	x86_64-apple-darwin
Linux x86_64 (glibc)	@tenant-emit/cli-linux-x64	manylinux_2_17_x86_64	x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Linux arm64 (glibc)	@tenant-emit/cli-linux-arm64	manylinux_2_17_aarch64	aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Windows x86_64	@tenant-emit/cli-win32-x64	win_amd64	x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Linux binaries require glibc. Alpine/musl hosts have no wheel or npm optional dependency and must use cargo install tenant-emit-cli or a glibc-based image.
