Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

The install script downloads the latest release binary for your platform:

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://roborev.io/install.sh | bash

This installs to ~/.local/bin by default.

Windows

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://roborev.io/install.ps1 | iex"

This installs to %USERPROFILE%\.roborev\bin and adds it to your PATH. Both x64 and ARM64 are supported.

The installer verifies SHA256 checksums by default. To customize installation:

Environment Variable	Description
ROBOREV_INSTALL_DIR	Custom install directory (default: %USERPROFILE%\.roborev\bin)
ROBOREV_NO_MODIFY_PATH	Set to skip adding install dir to PATH
ROBOREV_SKIP_CHECKSUM	Set to skip checksum verification (not recommended)

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

Install via Homebrew:

brew install kenn-io/tap/roborev

Or tap first, then install:

brew tap kenn-io/tap
brew install roborev

This also works on Linux with Linuxbrew.

Linux Packages: DEB and RPM

Starting with 0.57.0, GitHub releases include .deb and .rpm packages for Linux amd64 and arm64. Download the package for your architecture from the GitHub Releases page, then install it locally:

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install ./roborev_<version>_linux_amd64.deb

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo dnf install ./roborev_<version>_linux_amd64.rpm

The packages install the roborev binary to /usr/bin and include user-level systemd units for the daemon.

Go Install

If you have Go installed:

go install go.kenn.io/roborev/cmd/roborev@latest

Ensure $GOPATH/bin is in your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/kenn-io/roborev
cd roborev
make install

The make install target builds with version information embedded (e.g., v0.7.0-5-gabcdef).

For quick iteration during development:

go install ./cmd/...

Verify Installation

roborev version

Update

Update to the latest version:

roborev update

This downloads and replaces the current binary with the latest release.
