+# Installing the "Nightly" build of DSC CLI
+
+> **Note**: Nightly builds contain the latest development features but may have bugs or breaking
+> changes. Only install if you want to test unreleased functionality. If you encounter issues,
+> please [open an issue](https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/issues/new).
+
+## Via script
+
+> **Note**: This script requires the [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) to have already been
+> installed.
+
+### DSC CLI
+
+This will install the latest nightly DSC CLI binary:
+
+- **Windows**: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\dsc\dsc.exe`
+- **Linux/macOS**: `~/.dsc/bin/dsc`
+
+1. (macOS/Linux) Run the following:
+
+   ```sh
+   bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/refs/heads/main/sharedScripts/install_cli_nightly.sh)
+   ```
+
+1. (Windows) Run the following in a PowerShell window:
+
+   ```powershell
+   iex "& { $(irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/refs/heads/main/sharedScripts/install_cli_nightly.ps1) }"
+   ```
+
+1. Add the installation directory to your PATH environment variable to use `dsc` from any location.
+
+## Manual
+
+We are not currently publishing "nightly" releases, but you can grab the latest bits by viewing
+the latest Action workflows for the `main` branch (or any other branch).
+
+The easiest way to get these artifacts is through the GitHub site. Follow
+[this link](https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/actions/workflows/rust.yml?query=branch%3Amain+is%3Asuccess)
+to view the latest successful Action workflows for the `main` branch. Select it to show the related
+artifacts.
+
+On the details page, select the artifact for your platform:
+
+- `windows-bin` for Windows
+- `linux-bin` for Linux
+- `macos-bin` for macOS
+
+Extract the archive and place the `dsc` executable (or `dsc.exe` on Windows) in a directory in
+your PATH.
