About the project

Fd is find alternative with regular expressions and simpler syntax. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

How releases reach a machine

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Before you start

It is worth checking which platforms the current release targets. Support windows differ, and the newest version is not always the one that fits an older machine.

A quick sanity check

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.
