Install stly

Supported environments#

stly is provided as an executable for macOS.

Install or update#

1. Download the archive for the version you want and checksums.txt into the same directory.
2. Run the command below in that directory. It verifies the checksum and installs stly to ~/.local/bin/stly without administrator privileges.

(
  set -eu
  case "$(uname -m)" in
    arm64) package=stly-darwin-arm64 ;;
    x86_64) package=stly-darwin-amd64 ;;
    *) echo "Unsupported architecture" >&2; exit 1 ;;
  esac
  test -f "$package.tar.gz"
  shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing --check checksums.txt
  tar -xzf "$package.tar.gz"
  xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "$package/stly" 2>/dev/null || true
  mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/bin"
  install -m 755 "$package/stly" "$HOME/.local/bin/stly"
  "$HOME/.local/bin/stly" version
)

To update, run the same command with the archive for the new version. stly is not signed or notarized by Apple, so the command removes the quarantine attribute from files downloaded with a browser using xattr.

Set PATH#

To run it as stly, put ~/.local/bin at the front of your PATH.

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

To apply this to new terminals too, add the same line to your shell configuration file (~/.zprofile for the default macOS zsh).

Check the installation#

stly version
type -a stly

If the version from stly version differs from the release you installed, use type -a stly to check for duplicate installations and the PATH order. If you installed stly at /usr/local/bin/stly, you can keep using that path. If you move it, confirm the new executable works before removing the old file.
