# Installing Maestro

The fastest way to get `maestrod` (per-host daemon) and `maestro` (CLI) onto a
host is the install wizard:

```sh
cargo install --git https://git.naps.pt/naps62/maestro maestro-installer
maestro-install
```

The wizard:

1. Runs `cargo install` for `maestro-daemon` and `maestro-cli` (pinned to the
   committed `Cargo.lock` via `--locked`).
2. Optionally runs `maestrod configure` to drop a `~/.config/maestrod/config.toml`.
3. On systemd hosts, optionally writes a user unit at
   `~/.config/systemd/user/maestrod.service`, reloads systemd, and offers to
   enable + start it.

Both binaries land in `~/.cargo/bin` — make sure that's on your `$PATH`.

## Flags

| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `--git <url>` | Install from a different git repo (default: this one). |
| `--branch <name>` | Pin a branch with `--git`. |
| `--path <dir>` | Install from a local workspace checkout (`--path` + `-p <crate>`). |
| `--no-locked` | Drop `--locked` from `cargo install` (resolves a fresh dep tree). |
| `--exec-start <path>` | Override the systemd unit's `ExecStart` (default `~/.cargo/bin/maestrod`). |
| `--no-systemd` | Skip the systemd step even if detected. |
| `--no-configure` | Skip the `maestrod configure` step. |
| `-y`, `--yes` | Non-interactive: install binaries + drop systemd unit + reload + enable, but **don't** auto-run `configure` or auto-start the unit (those need real config). |

## What the systemd unit looks like

The wizard writes a *user* unit (`systemctl --user`), since `maestrod` runs
per-user and uses tmux sockets under `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`. Body:

```ini
[Unit]
Description=Maestro per-host daemon (maestrod)
Documentation=https://git.naps.pt/naps62/maestro
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=%h/.cargo/bin/maestrod
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```

Check status / logs:

```sh
systemctl --user status maestrod
journalctl --user -u maestrod -f
```

## Manual install (no wizard)

```sh
cargo install --git https://git.naps.pt/naps62/maestro --locked maestro-daemon
cargo install --git https://git.naps.pt/naps62/maestro --locked maestro-cli
maestrod configure
maestrod          # foreground; or wire your own service manager
```

## Non-Linux hosts

The wizard works on macOS for the `cargo install` + `maestrod configure` parts.
The systemd step is automatically skipped (probe of `/run/systemd/system`).
launchd integration is not yet supported — start `maestrod` from your shell or
your own service manager.
