Install

No Rust and no Node needed to run it — the installer pulls a prebuilt binary sized for your OS and architecture, verifies its SHA-256, and puts it on your PATH.

Quick install (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/n-o-ide/noide-server/main/install.sh | bash

Re-running the same command upgrades you to the newest version. Prefer reading scripts before piping them into a shell? Also reasonable:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/n-o-ide/noide-server/main/install.sh -o install.sh
less install.sh
bash install.sh

Options

Command / envEffect
VERSION=0.2.2 bash install.shPin a specific version
bash install.sh --dry-runPrint what would happen, change nothing
bash install.sh --forceReinstall even when the version matches
NOIDE_INSTALL_DIR=…Install directory (default ~/.local/bin)

Run in a GitHub Codespace

The smoothest path: a full Linux box, free within your monthly quota, with port forwarding that hands you a wss:// URL automatically.

  1. Create a Codespace and open its terminal (any repo works, even a blank one).
  2. Install & start. Run the curl install then noide-server.
  3. Forward port 1421. Codespaces suggests it; copy the wss://…app.github.dev URL.
  4. Pair the app. Set Server URL to that wss:// and enter the pairing code.
Codespace machines pause when idle — restart the server after it wakes (noide-server prints a fresh pairing code each time).

Termux (Android)

noide-server is a native binary and runs on aarch64 devices — Termux works. For better performance with the Chat AI agents, run it inside an AndroNix proot (Ubuntu CLI only) instead (a full Linux distro with a real glibc + Node.js toolchain); avoid third-party “Proot Distro” installers, which are slower and less reliable.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/n-o-ide/noide-server
cd noide-server
cargo build --release
./target/release/noide-server

Requires a Rust toolchain. Release builds use LTO + stripping (opt-level=s, strip=true). The source is MIT licensed.

Run it

noide-server

On startup it prints a fresh pairing code plus a scannable ASCII QR, and listens on 0.0.0.0:1421.

Options

Flag / envEffect
(none)Pairing (default). One-time XXXX-XXXX code + QR.
--token <value> or NOIDE_TOKEN=…Fixed token that survives restarts.
--no-authAccept unauthenticated connections. Development / CI only.
NOTERM_WS_ADDR=0.0.0.0:1421Bind address and port.
