Each release lists SHA256SUMS; verify the file you downloaded against it.
Installers are not code-signed yet, so macOS and Windows may warn on first launch.

Run your own server

The server and CLI build from source. You need Go 1.27+ and Node 20+.

bash

$git clone https://github.com/nipalab/nipa.git
$cd nipa && make web-install && make build
$cp config.yaml.sample config.yaml
$./bin/nipad# gRPC, REST and web UI on :6745

A fresh database seeds a super admin account. Sign in and change its password and the JWT_KEY in your config before exposing the server. See the server guide.
