How to install yq

Yq is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Yq is developer utility. 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

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

What to confirm beforehand

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Checking the result

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
