The brew install vyncint/tap/mossaic line went into the README ahead of the tap existing, on the assumption the tap would follow within the hour.

It has not — the Intel-Mac artifact for v0.6.2 is still queued behind GitHub's macos-13 runners, and a Homebrew formula that cannot serve Intel Macs is not one worth publishing. An install command that does not work is worse than one that is not offered, so the claim comes out until the tap is real and tested.

What remains is what is verified against the actual v0.6.2 release:

  • a downloaded binary, with the checksum step — confirmed working end to end, latest/download and all
  • cargo-binstall, which finds those same archives by their versioned names
  • cargo install --locked, for people who already have Rust

The quickstart now leads with the download one-liner rather than a brew command, since that is the one somebody without Rust can actually run today.
