Installation

Get opendev set up and running

Quick install (recommended)

Via npm (any OS with Node 20+)

npm install -g opendevtool
opendev --version

The package is named opendevtool on npm, but the binary installed is opendev. (The unqualified opendev name was taken on npm, but the tool’s name stays the same.)

Via curl one-liner (Linux / macOS / WSL)

Auto-detects your OS, installs Node 20 via nvm if missing, and sets up opendev:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenSubmissionn/Open_DevTool/main/install.sh | sh
opendev --version

Windows users: the curl installer needs WSL, Git Bash, or PowerShell with curl. If you don’t have any of those, use the npm method above or follow the Windows manual install below.

Manual install

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ (20 LTS recommended; some dependencies require Node 20+)
• git
• A terminal

opendev is a monorepo with npm workspaces (cli, services, scripts). The steps below clone + build + install only the cli/ package globally — the same flow the curl one-liner runs internally.

Linux (Ubuntu / Debian / Fedora / Arch)

# 1. Install Node 20 via nvm if you don't have it
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 20

# 2. Clone, build, install
git clone https://github.com/OpenSubmissionn/Open_DevTool.git
cd Open_DevTool
npm install
npm run build --workspace cli
cd cli && npm install -g . --ignore-scripts

# 3. Verify
opendev --help

macOS

# 1. Install Node 20 via Homebrew if you don't have it
brew install node@20
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@20/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

# 2. Clone, build, install (same as Linux)
git clone https://github.com/OpenSubmissionn/Open_DevTool.git
cd Open_DevTool
npm install
npm run build --workspace cli
cd cli && npm install -g . --ignore-scripts

# 3. Verify
opendev --help

Windows (PowerShell)

# 1. Install Node 20 via winget if you don't have it
winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
# Restart PowerShell so PATH picks up node

# 2. Clone, build, install
git clone https://github.com/OpenSubmissionn/Open_DevTool.git
cd Open_DevTool
npm install
npm run build --workspace cli
cd cli
npm install -g . --ignore-scripts

# 3. Verify
opendev --help

Build from source (contributors, hot-reload)

For local development where code changes reflect on every run:

git clone https://github.com/OpenSubmissionn/Open_DevTool.git
cd Open_DevTool
npm install
npm run build
npm link    # makes `opendev` point at your working tree
