Installing and updating the Bitrise CLI

Abstract

The Bitrise CLI is distributed as a single binary for macOS and Linux. You can download it using curl or Homebrew.

Installing the Bitrise CLI with curl

Run the following command in a bash shell:

curl -fL https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise/releases/latest/download/bitrise-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) > /usr/local/bin/bitrise

You can check the latest release of the Bitrise CLI on its releases page.

Make the downloaded binary executable:
```
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bitrise
```
Run bitrise setup.

This will verify if everything that is required for Bitrise to run is installed and available. If you skip this, the CLI will perform the setup anyway the first time you call bitrise run.

If you have the Homebrew package manager installed on your Mac, you can use it to install the Bitrise CLI.

Open the Terminal app on your Mac and run:
```
brew update && brew install bitrise
```
Run bitrise setup.

This will verify if everything that is required for Bitrise to run is installed and available. If you skip this, the CLI will perform the setup anyway the first time you call bitrise run.

Updating the Bitrise CLI is easy, and it doesn’t matter if you installed it with Homebrew or from the GitHub release.

Simply run bitrise update - that’s it! The CLI checks for updates once every day and notifies you as soon as there is a new version.
