Requires Rust 1.70+.

Install directly from the repository:

cargo install --git https://github.com/johnsideserf/siggy.git

Or clone and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/johnsideserf/siggy.git
cd siggy
cargo build --release
# Binary is at target/release/siggy

signal-cli setup

siggy requires signal-cli as its messaging backend.

1. Install signal-cli – follow the signal-cli installation guide. The install scripts above will check for it automatically.

2. Make it accessible – signal-cli must be on your PATH, or you can set the full path in the config file:

   signal_cli_path = "/usr/local/bin/signal-cli"
   

   On Windows, point to signal-cli.bat if it isn’t in your PATH.

3. Java runtime – signal-cli 0.14+ requires Java 25+. Make sure java is available in your shell. On Linux, the install script uses the native signal-cli build which does not require Java.
