Plugins

None, but i do have opencode installed separately in the off chance that there is some conflict there?

VoltCode version

0.6.0-dev-202602252203

Steps to reproduce

README.md install instructions were slightly off as voltropy/voltcode doesn't exist (or at least isn't public), and the arch / path creation script was a little bit off, so I took these steps after getting bun 1.3.6 installed (repo didn't like 1.3.9):

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Martian-Engineering/volt.git
cd volt

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run in development mode
bun dev

# Build a standalone executable (current platform only)
./packages/voltcode/script/build.ts --single

# Install it
arch="$(uname -m)"
case "$arch" in
  x86_64) arch=x64 ;;
  aarch64) arch=arm64 ;;
esac

cp "packages/voltcode/dist/voltcode-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$arch/bin/volt" \
   ~/.voltcode/bin/volt
