Installation

Install with mise

The recommended installation uses a prebuilt GitHub release:

mise use --global github:dkarter/vellum

Confirm the binary is available:

vlm --version

Build from source

Vellum requires Rust 1.88 or newer.

git clone https://github.com/dkarter/vellum.git
cd vellum
cargo install --path .

The project and Cargo package remain named Vellum, but the installed executable is vlm. The former vellum executable name is not installed.

Optional dependencies

The core executable has no runtime dependency on a multiplexer. Individual sources and actions may call other tools:

Feature	Dependency
Herdr workspaces and agents	herdr
Built-in file finder	fd
Workspace removal action	hwt
GitHub actions in the workspace palette	gh
File icons	A Nerd Font

Continue with the quick start.
