| Copy | Purpose |
|---|---|
Standalone copilot |
Truly self-contained executable; easiest fallback |
package/ archive |
Best for inspecting/reusing skills, agents, schemas, SDK, runtime components |
| npm installation | Clean, versioned, supported installation and easiest to run/update |
but the standalone counterpart appears to be the same as one in node_modules/@github/copilot-linux-x64/ thus removed.
1.0.32
module load ceuadmin/node
npm view @github/copilot versions --json
export version=1.0.32
npm install -g @github/copilot@$version --prefix $CEUADMIN/copilot-cli/$version
or alternatively,
module load ceuadmin/cli
gh release list --repo github/copilot-cli
export version=1.0.32
curl -fsSL https://gh.io/copilot-install | VERSION="v$version" PREFIX="$CEUADMIN/copilot-cli/$version" bash
