Installation

Sensos supports macOS and Linux on x86_64 and arm64. You can also install with apt, dnf, or apk on Debian, Fedora, RHEL, and Alpine.

Install the latest release

Run the installer:

$ curl -fsSL https://sensos.dev/install | bash

https://sensos.dev/install is the canonical installer. Nothing else needs to be trusted to install Sensos.

Review the installer before running it

Piping a script to a shell runs whatever the server returns. If you or your organization require a review first, download it, read it, and run the copy you read:

$ curl -fsSL https://sensos.dev/install -o install.sh

$ less install.sh

$ bash install.sh

What the script does, in order: detect your platform, resolve the latest published version, download and unpack that release archive, install the binary, and offer to put it on your PATH. Specifically:

It installs to ~/.local/bin. Set SENSOS_INSTALL_DIR to install somewhere else.
If the install directory is not already on your PATH, it offers to append a PATH line to your shell profile: ~/.zprofile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or ~/.profile. It skips that edit when the exact line is already present.
Release archives are downloaded over HTTPS from the Sensos release CDN, with GitHub Releases as a fallback. The script does not check a signature or a published checksum, so an audited install should read the script, fetch the archive it names, and verify that artifact with your own process.

For automation, pass a version so a run is reproducible instead of tracking the latest release:

$ curl -fsSL https://sensos.dev/install | bash -s -- <version>

Put Sensos on your PATH

If your shell cannot find sensos after installing, add the install directory to the current shell:

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

Restarting the shell picks up the line the installer added to your profile.

Verify the install

To confirm the installation worked, run:

$ sensos --version

Upgrade

Upgrade to the latest release on the selected channel:

$ sensos upgrade

Add --channel stable or --channel next for stable or canary release channels respectively.
