Installation

Redstart ships pre-built binaries for macOS (arm64/x86_64) and Linux (x86_64/arm64) — no Rust toolchain required.

Quick install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nightswatchhq/redstart/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

This downloads the binary for your platform from the latest release, verifies its sha256, and installs it to ~/.local/bin (override with REDSTART_BIN_DIR).

Homebrew

brew install nightswatchhq/tap/redstart

Cargo

If you’d rather build from source (needs a recent stable Rust):

cargo install --git https://github.com/nightswatchhq/redstart redstart-cli

Verify

redstart --version

What you’ll also want

To build and deploy a subgraph, the canonical Graph toolchain (graph-cli) is invoked through redstart deploy; it runs via npx, so you only need Node 18+ on your PATH. Redstart never reimplements graph build — it generates the input to it.
