Install proto
The following guide can be used to install proto into your environment.
Installing
The entirety of proto is packaged and shipped as a single binary. It works on all most operating systems, and does not require any external dependencies. For convenience, we provide the following scripts to download and install proto.
Linux, macOS, WSL
In a terminal that supports Bash, run:
curl -fsSL https://moonrepo.dev/install/proto.sh | bash
Windows
In Powershell or Windows Terminal, run:
irm https://moonrepo.dev/install/proto.ps1 | iex
You'll also need to run the following command for shims to be executable:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Windows support is currently experimental. Please report any issues!
Other
proto can also be downloaded and installed manually, by downloading an asset from
https://github.com/moonrepo/proto/releases. Be sure to
rename the file after downloading, and apply the executable bit (chmod +x) on macOS and Linux.
Upgrading
We provide no formal mechanism for upgrading the proto binary. However, you can re-run the install scripts above and it will download, install, and overwrite with the latest version.
Uninstalling
To uninstall proto, delete the ~/.proto directory, and remove any PROTO_ROOT references from
your shell profile.
