Install

Quick install (script)

curl -fsSL https://m.canouil.dev/oboro/install.sh | bash

# or pin this exact release
curl -fsSL https://m.canouil.dev/oboro/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 0.2.0

The script picks the archive for your machine, verifies it against SHA256SUMS, and installs into /usr/local/bin when writable, otherwise ~/.local/bin.
It needs bash and curl; on a minimal distribution such as Alpine, install them first with apk add bash curl.

Docker

docker volume create oboro-vault
docker run --rm \
  -v oboro-vault:/vault \
  -v "$PWD":/work -w /work \
  --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  ghcr.io/mcanouil/oboro:0.2.0 clean contract.docx

The vault volume is not optional.
Without it the mapping between placeholders and real values disappears with the container, and the document can never be restored.

A prebuilt binary

Pick the archive for your machine from the table below, then:

VERSION=0.2.0
TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl   # or whichever row matches

curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/mcanouil/oboro/releases/download/${VERSION}/oboro-${VERSION}-${TARGET}.tar.gz"
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/mcanouil/oboro/releases/download/${VERSION}/SHA256SUMS"

# Check it is what was published.
sha256sum --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS

tar -xzf "oboro-${VERSION}-${TARGET}.tar.gz"
install -m 0755 oboro /usr/local/bin/oboro

On macOS, shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS does the same job.

With Rust already installed

cargo install --git https://github.com/mcanouil/oboro --tag 0.2.0

From source, with the optional features

The published binaries are the default build.
They read .txt, .md, .docx, .xlsx and text-based .pdf, and find structured values and anything on your denylist.

They do not find names nobody told them about, and they do not read images.
Names link ONNX Runtime, fetched over the network while building; images need the Tesseract system libraries. Both are compiled in rather than shipped:

cargo build --release --features ner   # names and organisations, then: oboro models pull
cargo build --release --features ocr   # images and scanned pages, needs Tesseract

If names are not being redacted, this is almost certainly why.
oboro doctor reports what any build can do.

To build the optional features without setting up the system libraries on your machine, use the devcontainer, which carries the pinned toolchain, Tesseract and the OCR libraries:

docker build -f .devcontainer/Dockerfile -t oboro-dev .devcontainer
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/work -w /work -u vscode oboro-dev \
  cargo build --release --features "ner,ocr"

In Visual Studio Code or a GitHub Codespace, reopen the folder in the container instead.

Verify what you downloaded

Beyond the checksum, every archive carries build provenance, so you can confirm it came from this repository's workflow and not from somewhere else:

gh attestation verify "oboro-0.2.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz" \
  --repo mcanouil/oboro

This tool checks the model it downloads against a pinned hash before using it.
It would be inconsistent to ask you to trust its own binaries on sight.

Which archive is which

Archive For
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl Linux on Intel or AMD. Statically linked, so any distribution, glibc version or Alpine.
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl Linux on ARM, including most cloud instances. Statically linked.
aarch64-apple-darwin macOS on Apple silicon.

There is no Windows build.
The code that creates the vault key readable only by you is Unix-specific, and shipping a build where that quietly does nothing would misrepresent what the tool guarantees.

Changes

Features

  • feat: Accept a directory argument to clean and review, cleaning every supported file it holds; --recursive descends into subdirectories, unsupported files are skipped and counted, and --output mirrors the input tree.
  • feat: Redact PII found in the input filename so it no longer leaks into the output name (jean@example.com.txt becomes EMAIL_1.clean.md), sharing placeholders with the document body; on by default and disabled with redact_filenames = false in oboro.toml.
