@cascode/cascode-cli (npm wrapper)

This package enables a one-line install of the Cascode CLI via npm:

npm install -g @cascode/cascode-cli

How it works

• On install, a small script downloads a prebuilt, self-contained cascode binary for your OS/architecture from the GitHub Releases page.

• The cascode command is provided via the package bin and forwards args to the binary.

• Simulator dependencies are managed by the CLI. Install ngspice with:

  cascode install ngspice

  This default path downloads a prebuilt ngspice package from the same GitHub release tag as the installed Cascode CLI version. To force source mode, run:

  cascode install ngspice --from-source

Environment variables

• CASCODE_DOWNLOAD_BASE (optional): override the GitHub Releases base URL, e.g. https://your.mirror.example.com/cascode/releases/download.
• CASCODE_VERSION (optional): if set, use this version instead of package.json.

Fallbacks

• If a prebuilt binary cannot be downloaded (e.g., due to network policy), you can install the .NET global tool version:

  dotnet tool install -g Cascode.Cli

Notes

• Release artifacts are expected to be named cascode-<rid>.<zip|tar.gz>, where rid is one of: win-x64, win-arm64, osx-x64, osx-arm64, linux-x64, linux-arm64.
• The repository’s release workflow should publish those assets alongside tags matching the npm package version.
