### Install from Release

Download a pre-built binary from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/stacklok/brood-box/releases):

```bash

---

# Build guest VM images (requires docker or podman)
task image-all
```

Always use `task` for building, testing, and linting. The Taskfile sets
critical flags, ldflags, and environment variables that raw `go` commands miss.
See the [Development Guide](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md) for the full command reference.
