Thenvoi tap — install jam

The Homebrew tap for Thenvoi tools. It distributes jam — the CLI that bridges your coding agents (e.g. Claude Code) to the Band platform. Installing jam installs two binaries side-by-side: jam (the CLI) and jamd (its background daemon).

Supported platforms: macOS (Apple Silicon) · Linux (x86_64 / arm64).

Homebrew (recommended):

brew install thenvoi/tap/jam

thenvoi/tap is shorthand for this repo (thenvoi/homebrew-tap). Newer Homebrew may ask you to trust the tap once: brew trust thenvoi/tap.

Or the one-line installer (no Homebrew):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
  https://github.com/thenvoi/homebrew-tap/releases/latest/download/jam-installer.sh | sh

The binaries aren't notarized yet. Homebrew installs run fine; if macOS Gatekeeper blocks a manually-downloaded build, clear the quarantine flag once:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "$(command -v jam)" "$(command -v jamd)"

(Intel Macs run the Apple-Silicon build under Rosetta 2.)

Homebrew on Linux works the same way — the formula has per-architecture builds:

brew install thenvoi/tap/jam

Or the one-line installer (no Homebrew) — it auto-detects your architecture:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
  https://github.com/thenvoi/homebrew-tap/releases/latest/download/jam-installer.sh | sh

No Gatekeeper / quarantine step is needed on Linux.

Grab the tarball for your platform from the latest release, extract it, and put jam + jamd somewhere on your PATH:

Each tarball has a matching .sha256; sha256.sum covers them all.

brew upgrade jam       # Homebrew
# or re-run the installer / re-download the latest tarball

jam --version              # confirm it's on your PATH
jam daemon install         # start the background daemon (launchd / systemd --user)
jam init --user-api-key 'band_u_…'   # sign in with your Band user key
jam doctor                 # health check

jam and jamd must live in the same directory (Homebrew and the installer both place them together), because the CLI launches the daemon from beside itself.

• Formula/jam.rb — the generated Homebrew formula. Don't hand-edit it; it's produced and committed automatically on each jam release by dist (cargo-dist), which also publishes the prebuilt binaries to this repo's Releases. (Source code lives in a separate repo.)
• Casks/ — reserved for the future macOS desktop app (jam-desktop); not released yet.
