0.0.3 Install

This archived install page mirrors the current stable package behavior. Use it when you need installation instructions frozen to the 0.0.3 release contract.

Requirements

• Node.js >=18
• ripgrep recommended for fastest lexical search

Install ripgrep:

Platform	Command
Ubuntu/Debian	sudo apt-get install ripgrep
macOS	brew install ripgrep
Windows	winget install BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC

Global install

npm install -g localnest-mcp@0.0.3
localnest-mcp-install-skill
localnest-mcp-setup
localnest-mcp-doctor

npx fallback

npx -y localnest-mcp-setup
npx -y localnest-mcp-doctor

MCP client config

0.0.3 expects a config block like:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localnest": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "localnest-mcp"],
      "startup_timeout_sec": 30,
      "env": {
        "MCP_MODE": "stdio",
        "LOCALNEST_CONFIG": "~/.localnest/localnest.config.json",
        "LOCALNEST_INDEX_BACKEND": "sqlite-vec",
        "LOCALNEST_DB_PATH": "~/.localnest/localnest.db",
        "LOCALNEST_INDEX_PATH": "~/.localnest/localnest.index.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• global install is the preferred path in 0.0.3
• setup writes both localnest.config.json and mcp.localnest.json
• Windows users should use the generated npx.cmd command from setup output
• use /docs/releases/version-selection to choose another version line
