chadsly-knit 0.1.5

Install and run the local Knit daemon, then connect Knit Browser Composer from the Chrome Web Store or a local unpacked extension.

chadsly-knit

chadsly-knit installs the host-specific Knit daemon from bundled release artifacts and exposes it through the knit command.

Install

python3 -m pip install chadsly-knit

Run

knit start

Install the browser extension after the daemon is running:

• Chrome Web Store: Knit Browser Composer
• Local unpacked install: open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select extension/chromium from the Knit repository

Pair it from the Knit UI with Capture, review, and send -> Chrome Extension.

Commands

• knit start Ensures the packaged daemon is installed for the current host and starts it.
• knit path Prints the installed daemon binary path for the current host.
• knit version Prints the wrapper package version.

How It Works

• The package bundles the released Knit archives for each supported target.
• On first use, the Python wrapper verifies the packaged archive checksum against the bundled release manifest.
• It extracts the host-specific daemon into the local user application-data directory and then runs it.

The daemon now prints the local UI URL, the Chrome Web Store link, the local unpacked extension path, and the pairing path in the Knit UI at startup. This package still only installs the daemon/runtime; the browser extension is installed separately.
