Installation

The fastest way to install is on the Getting Started page. This page covers all available methods.

Install Script (Recommended)

Works on macOS and Linux. Downloads the latest release, verifies the checksum, and installs to ~/.local/bin:

curl -fsSL https://outport.dev/install.sh | sh

The binary is installed to ~/.local/bin/outport (or /usr/local/bin/outport when run as root). If the install directory is not in your PATH, the script will show the exact command to add it.

Options:

# Install to a specific directory
curl -fsSL https://outport.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dir /usr/local/bin

# Install a specific version
curl -fsSL https://outport.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 0.30.0

Homebrew

brew install steveclarke/tap/outport

To update:

brew upgrade outport

.deb / .rpm Package

Download the .deb or .rpm from the latest release:

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i outport_*.deb

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo rpm -i outport-*.rpm

Arch Linux (AUR)

# With an AUR helper (e.g., yay, paru)
yay -S outport-bin

# Or manually
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/outport-bin.git
cd outport-bin
makepkg -si

From Source

Requires Go 1.26+:

go install github.com/steveclarke/outport@latest

This installs to $GOPATH/bin. Make sure it's in your PATH.

Build Locally

git clone https://github.com/steveclarke/outport.git
cd outport
go build -o outport .

Or using just:

just build      # Compiles to dist/outport
just install    # Installs to $GOPATH/bin

Shell Completions

Outport supports tab completion for bash, zsh, and fish. Homebrew, .deb/.rpm, and AUR packages install completions automatically. For other install methods:

# Bash — add to ~/.bashrc
eval "$(outport completion bash)"

# Zsh — add to ~/.zshrc (after compinit)
eval "$(outport completion zsh)"

# Fish — run once
outport completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/outport.fish

Verify

outport --version
