Install

Install the Fuse global tool from NuGet, or grab a self-contained binary if you do not have the .NET SDK.

Fuse is a developer tool for .NET developers, so the recommended install is the .NET global tool. If you do not have the .NET SDK, there is a self-contained binary that needs nothing else.

Recommended: the .NET global tool

dotnet tool install -g Fuse

Verify it:

fuse --help

Update later with:

dotnet tool update -g Fuse

Requirements: the .NET SDK 10.0 or later. Git change scoping also needs the git executable on your PATH.

Run without installing

The .NET 10 SDK can run Fuse on demand without a global install:

dnx Fuse -- serve

Without the .NET SDK

These give you a single self-contained binary (Native AOT, no runtime required). Linux x64 and Windows x64 are published; on macOS use the .NET global tool above.

Install script

# Linux
curl -fsSL https://fuse.codes/install.sh | sh

# Windows
irm https://fuse.codes/install.ps1 | iex

Each script downloads the latest release binary, verifies its checksum, and puts fuse on your PATH. Set FUSE_VERSION to pin a version or FUSE_INSTALL_DIR to choose the location.

WinGet (Windows)

winget install Litenova.Fuse

Download a binary

Grab fuse-<version>-win-x64.zip or fuse-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz from the GitHub Releases page, verify it against SHA256SUMS.txt, extract, and put fuse on your PATH.

Build from source

On Windows, the bundled script builds, packs, and installs the tool locally:

install.bat

On any OS:

dotnet pack src/Host/Fuse.Cli/Fuse.Cli.csproj -c Release
dotnet tool install -g Fuse --add-source src/Host/Fuse.Cli/nupkg

Run your first fusion in the Quickstart, or wire Fuse into an agent on the Connect to your AI page.
