# Install the BRIK64 CLI

> Install BRIK64 CLI 0.1.0-beta.18.2 with the public installer and verify the official brik64 command.

BRIK64 CLI `0.1.0-beta.18.2` is the current public local beta. The official command is `brik64`. Always verify the installed version.

Install with the public installer:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://brik64.com/cli/install.sh | bash
```

Verify the installed command:

```bash theme={null}
brik64 --version
brik64 help
```

The compatibility alias `brik` is installed for existing workflows:

```bash theme={null}
brik --version
```

Use `brik64` in new documentation, scripts and agent instructions.

## Package Checksums

Use the release manifest or `SHA256SUMS` from the release record when validating direct artifacts.

| Artifact                         | SHA-256                                                                      |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `brik64-cli-0.1.0-beta.18.2.tgz` | Check the release manifest or `SHA256SUMS` from the Beta18.2 release record. |

## Current Beta Scope

The Beta18.2 CLI is for local BRIK64 workflows: project initialization profiles, PCD inspection with suggestions and fix plans, native bounded scenario testing, semantic PCD diff, blueprint documentation, static policy hygiene lint, aggregate local audit reports, local verification, local polymerization, legacy PCD migration, local evidence for declared scope, typed PCD emission for supported syntax, target scaffolding and release artifact verification.

Developer assurance loop:

```bash theme={null}
brik64 init --profile startup --structure modular
brik64 audit . --out .brik/audit --json
```

The current also supports local source lift preview:

```bash theme={null}
brik64 lift js src/pricing.js --preview
brik64 lift ts src/pricing.ts --preview
brik64 lift python src/pricing.py --preview
brik64 adoption report --json
```

Source lift preview generates local PCD candidates and warning reports under
`.brik/lift-preview/`. It does not create certificates, does not upload source,
and does not assert full translation coverage.

Hosted platform features and additional platform packages appear in release notes when they are available for public use. npm is used for the JS/TS SDK package `@brik64/core`; it is not the CLI install channel.
