AVC 0.5.0-rc1

Install

macOS

Recommended — Homebrew handles PATH and removes the Gatekeeper prompt automatically.

brew install trevarix/tap/avc

Windows

Recommended — Scoop handles PATH and bypasses the SmartScreen warning automatically.
No admin rights required. avc is available in any terminal immediately after install.

scoop bucket add trevarix https://github.com/trevarix/scoop-bucket
scoop install avc

Linux

curl -sfL https://github.com/trevarix/agentic-vc/releases/download/v0.5.0-rc1/avc_0.5.0-rc1_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv avc /usr/local/bin/

Direct download (without a package manager)

macOS — extract the archive, then:

# Remove the Gatekeeper quarantine flag
xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine avc
chmod +x avc
sudo mv avc /usr/local/bin/

Windows — extract the .zip, then either:

# Option A — move to an existing PATH location (no admin needed)
Move-Item avc.exe "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\"

# Option B — create a personal bin directory and add it to your PATH
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\bin"
Move-Item avc.exe "$env:USERPROFILE\bin\"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
    "PATH",
    "$env:USERPROFILE\bin;" + [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH","User"),
    "User"
)
# Restart your terminal after running this

You can also right-click avc.exe → Properties → check Unblock → OK
before moving it, to dismiss the SmartScreen warning on first run.
