## Prerequisites

* A 64-bit Linux, macOS, or Windows machine
* `git` on `PATH` (only needed for `-g owner/repo` remote scans)

## Download the binary

Releases are published to [github.com/raphabot/pipefort/releases](https://github.com/raphabot/pipefort/releases). Each release ships these archives plus a `checksums.txt`:

| Platform | Architecture  | Archive                                  |
| -------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Linux    | x86\_64       | `pipefort_<version>_linux_amd64.tar.gz`  |
| Linux    | arm64         | `pipefort_<version>_linux_arm64.tar.gz`  |
| macOS    | Intel         | `pipefort_<version>_darwin_amd64.tar.gz` |
| macOS    | Apple Silicon | `pipefort_<version>_darwin_arm64.tar.gz` |
| Windows  | x86\_64       | `pipefort_<version>_windows_amd64.zip`   |

## Install on macOS / Linux

Pick the archive for your platform and run:

```bash theme={null}
# Example: macOS Apple Silicon
curl -sSL -o pipefort.tar.gz \
  https://github.com/raphabot/pipefort/releases/latest/download/pipefort_$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/raphabot/pipefort/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d'"' -f4)_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf pipefort.tar.gz
sudo mv pipefort /usr/local/bin/
rm pipefort.tar.gz
```

Substitute `darwin_arm64` with `linux_amd64`, `linux_arm64`, or `darwin_amd64` as needed.

## Install on Windows

Download the `..._windows_amd64.zip` archive from the [releases page](https://github.com/raphabot/pipefort/releases/latest), extract it, and move `pipefort.exe` somewhere on your `PATH`.

## Verify

```bash theme={null}
pipefort --help
```
