Nexus SDK

Build for Nexus. Keep your code.

Unbound SDK Strategy

The SDK does not infect your code with GPL or any copyleft. Your NPKs, your drivers, your applications — your intellectual property. We sell the Forge, not your freedom.

Bazaar distribution is expected to carry a signature and build proof. The current proof pack has registry validation, badge evidence, and one development hello-NPK host flow. Production Ed25519 signing remains future Forge/Bazaar work.

Components

Component	What It Is
`libnexus`	C API for NPL development
`nip` CLI	Package manager for building NPKs
KDL manifest	Package metadata format
NPL membrane	POSIX bridge and protocol gateway

Quick Start: Hello-World NPK — works as development proof

The checked-in nip CLI can create, build, dev-sign, install, list, inspect, and execute a local hello NPK. See Hello NPK for the isolated proof command.

bash

# Initialize a new package
nip init hello-npk

# Build the NPK
nip build

# Development proof signature
nip sign hello-npk/dist/hello-npk.npk

# Install locally
nip install hello-npk/dist/hello-npk.npk
