Installation

uv

uv tool install rovr

'native' executables

• *nix systems (macOS and Linux), the executable is called rovr.bin, rovr isn't allowed because the data files are under that directory (please don't tamper with them!!). I highly recommend creating a shim, or a shell function if possible.
• Windows systems, just add the folder to your PATH via the Control Panel.
• The executables are from action run 25281239793
