Installation

Install Denis from a release bundle

The repository README recommends installing Denis from GitHub release bundles. The archive contains wrapper scripts and runtime files so the app can be started without manually typing the full jar command each time.

Release install flow

  • Download a release archive such as denis-<version>-project-bundle.zip or denis-<version>-project-bundle.tar.gz.
  • Extract the archive into the target installation directory.
  • Run the platform-specific install script.
  • Validate the wrapper command using --help before starting server or CLI mode.

Linux or macOS-style shell flow

sh install.sh
denis --help
denis server
denis cli

Windows flow

install.bat
denis.bat --help
denis.bat server
denis.bat cli

Runtime files created or expected near the app

The README explicitly mentions these files as part of the installed runtime layout.
