Install

From crates.io

cargo install anomalyx

This installs the anomalyx binary. It pulls in the library crates (anomalyx-core, anomalyx-normalize, anomalyx-detect) automatically.

From source

git clone https://github.com/copyleftdev/anomalyx
cd anomalyx
cargo install --path crates/anomalyx

Feature flags

Binary columnar formats (Parquet, Arrow IPC) are read through the Polars backbone, behind the default-on polars feature of anomalyx-normalize. A lean, text-only build drops that heavy dependency:

# text formats only (CSV / TSV / NDJSON / JSON), no Polars
cargo build -p anomalyx-normalize --no-default-features

Without the feature, a Parquet/Arrow input fails cleanly with an explicit “requires the ‘polars’ feature” error rather than misbehaving — honest absence at the build level.

Using the libraries

The detection engine is usable as a library. The crates.io packages are namespaced (anomalyx-*) but expose conventional module names:

[dependencies]
anomalyx-core = "0.1"
anomalyx-detect = "0.1"
anomalyx-normalize = "0.1"

use ax_detect::{Registry, ScanContext, DetectConfig};

let rs = ax_normalize::normalize("data.csv", &bytes)?;
let report = Registry::default_set()
    .run(&ScanContext::single(&rs), &DetectConfig::default());
