Installation#

rdlfmt is a single self-contained binary. Pick whichever of these fits the toolchain you already have.

Prebuilt binary#

Needs no toolchain of any kind:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/fischeti/rdlfmt/releases/latest/download/rdlfmt-installer.sh | sh

On Windows:

powershell -c "irm https://github.com/fischeti/rdlfmt/releases/latest/download/rdlfmt-installer.ps1 | iex"

Binaries for each platform are also attached to every release if you would rather place one yourself.

The package is the Rust binary in a wheel, not a Python program, so it pulls in nothing else:

uv tool install rdlfmt

Or without installing at all:

uvx rdlfmt --check .

pip install rdlfmt works the same way.

If you have a Rust toolchain:

cargo install rdlfmt

Rust 1.88 or newer:

git clone https://github.com/fischeti/rdlfmt
cd rdlfmt
cargo build --release
