What's in this repo

This is the public distribution home for the ByteAsk CLI:

• install.sh / install.ps1 — the installers (also served from code.byteask.ai).

• byteask / byteask.ps1 — the CLI launcher.

• Releases — each GitHub Release ships the byteask-engine binaries for every supported platform:

  Platform	Asset
  Linux x86_64	byteask-engine-linux-x86_64.gz
  Linux arm64	byteask-engine-linux-arm64.gz
  macOS arm64	byteask-engine-darwin-arm64.gz
  Windows x86_64	byteask-engine-windows-x86_64.exe.gz

The installers always fetch the newest published release (releases/latest/download/…), so byteask --update and fresh installs get the latest engine automatically.

Updating

byteask --update
