@shibenenen/mem

npm installer for mem — a local-first Rust memory service for multi-agent workflows.

This package ships no binary of its own. On install it downloads the prebuilt mem binary for your platform from the matching GitHub Release, verifies its SHA-256 against the release checksums, and installs it as the mem command.

Install

npm install -g @shibenenen/mem
mem --help

or run without a global install:

npx @shibenenen/mem serve

Platform support

Prebuilt binaries are currently published for linux-x64 only. The installer pulls the statically-linked musl build, so it runs on any linux-x64 distro (glibc or musl) without further setup. On any other platform npm install fails fast (os/cpu are restricted in package.json) — build from source instead.

How it works

• install.js (postinstall) resolves mem-v<version>-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl from releases/download/v<version>/, streams it to bin/mem-linux-x64 while hashing, and aborts on any SHA-256 mismatch — no unverified binary is ever left on disk.
• bin/mem.js is a small launcher that execs that binary, forwarding argv, stdio, and exit status.

The package version must match a published release tag, since that is where the binary is fetched from. In CI the version is set from the git tag at publish time (see .github/workflows/release.yml).

If you installed with --ignore-scripts, the download never ran — re-run it manually with node install.js inside the package directory.
