Installation

Homebrew (MacOS / Linux)

brew install jr-k/d4s/d4s

---

Docker

docker run --rm --pull always -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/jr-k/d4s:latest

You might want to create an alias for quicker usage. For example:

echo "alias d4s='docker run --rm --pull always -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/jr-k/d4s:latest'" >> ~/.zshrc

After running this, either restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc (or source ~/.bashrc for Bash) to enable the alias.

Binary Releases (Linux / MacOS / Windows)

Automated

curl -fsSL https://d4scli.io/install.sh | sh -s -- ~/.local/bin

The script installs downloaded binary to $HOME/.local/bin directory by default, but it can be changed by setting DIR environment variable.

Manual

Grab a release from the releases page and install it manually.
