Current availability
The CLI is currently available as a source build from the Anarlog repository. It includes the anarlog mcp server in the same executable.
Homebrew, desktop-bundled CLI, standalone release binaries, and Windows package-manager distribution are forthcoming. Do not rely on those channels yet.
Build from source
git clone https://github.com/fastrepl/anarlog.git
cd anarlog
cargo install --locked --path apps/cli
anarlog --version
cargo installs the executable into its configured binary directory, normally ~/.cargo/bin. Add that directory to PATH if your shell cannot find anarlog.
Connect to local data
By default, the CLI looks for anarlog/app.db in your operating system’s application-data directory. It also recognizes legacy Anarlog locations.
Open the desktop app once before using the CLI. For a custom database location, pass a global option or environment variable:
anarlog --db-path /path/to/app.db --json meetings list
ANARLOG_DB_PATH=/path/to/app.db anarlog --json meetings list
app.db, use:
anarlog --base /path/to/anarlog-data --json meetings list
