Packages and installers

Install Elide with Homebrew, apt, RPM, or the macOS and Windows installers, upgrade through the package manager, and verify checksums and signatures.

On this page

Upgrade these installs through their package manager, not elide upgrade. Only Homebrew includes Python; see Installation.

Homebrew

brew install elide-dev/elide/elide
brew upgrade elide

The elide-dev/homebrew-elide tap tracks nightly on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (amd64, arm64).

Debian and Ubuntu (apt)

curl -fsSL https://keys.elide.dev/gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elide.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elide.gpg]" \
  "https://dl.elide.dev release main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elide.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install elide

Replace release with nightly for daily builds. Upgrade with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade elide. The package installs into /opt/elide/<version>, with /opt/elide/current and /usr/bin/elide pointing at it.

Fedora and RHEL (RPM)

sudo dnf install ./elide_<version>_<arch>.rpm

Download the RPM for amd64 or arm64 from GitHub Releases; there is no yum repository. Upgrade by installing a newer RPM.

Native installers

These links point at the latest release; replace release with nightly in a URL for the latest nightly.

Verify a download

Each installer has a SHA-256 checksum (<file>.sha256) and a GPG signature (<file>.asc). GitHub Releases also carries a Sigstore bundle (<file>.bundle).

With the download and its .sha256 file in one directory:

sha256sum -c <file>.sha256        # Linux
shasum -a 256 -c <file>.sha256    # macOS

PowerShell:

$file = "elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://elide.zip/artifacts/release/latest/$file" -OutFile $file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://elide.zip/artifacts/release/latest/$file.sha256" -OutFile "$file.sha256"
$expected = (Get-Content "$file.sha256").Split(" ")[0]
$actual = (Get-FileHash $file -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expected -eq $actual) { Write-Host "OK" } else { Write-Host "MISMATCH" }

Signature:

curl -fsSL https://keys.elide.dev/gpg.key | gpg --import
curl -LO https://elide.zip/artifacts/release/latest/elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.asc
gpg --verify elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi.asc elide-installer.windows-amd64.msi

A valid signature reports Good signature from "Elide Releases (Release key, Elide 1.0 and up) <engineering@elide.dev>". GPG warns that the key is not certified until you sign it yourself.
