Elide installs as a single native binary. Use the one-line installer for most macOS, Linux, and WSL setups; use package repositories or native installers when you need managed updates; use manual downloads when you need a specific release artifact or checksum.
| Platform need | Recommended path |
|---|---|
| macOS, Linux, or WSL quick setup | One-line Script |
| Debian or Ubuntu managed updates | Package Managers |
| Windows native install | Installers |
| Pinned release, checksum, or archive | Manual Downloads |
Some package and installer links point at the latest nightly build. For a specific version or artifact, use the Manual Downloads tab and verify checksums from the release page.
On macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL:
curl -sSL --tlsv1.2 elide.sh | bash -s -
The installer script can take options:
curl -sSL --tlsv1.2 elide.sh | bash -s - --help

Elide ships as container images, too. You can use Elide from Docker:
docker run --rm -it elide.dev/bash
