Installation

Prebuilt Binaries

Each release has archives for Linux and macOS:

• x86_64-unknown-linux-musl and aarch64-unknown-linux-musl for Linux, linked statically, so they run on any distribution
• x86_64-apple-darwin and aarch64-apple-darwin for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs

Download the archive for your system from the releases page, verify that it was built from this repository, and unpack it:

version=v0.3.0
target=aarch64-apple-darwin
curl -LO "https://github.com/woylie/ebb/releases/download/$version/ebb-$version-$target.tar.gz"
gh attestation verify "ebb-$version-$target.tar.gz" --repo woylie/ebb
tar -xzf "ebb-$version-$target.tar.gz"

Without the GitHub CLI, you can compare the archive with the SHA256SUMS file of the release instead, using sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on Linux or shasum -a 256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on macOS.

Then move the ebb binary to a directory on your PATH.

With Nix

nix profile install github:woylie/ebb/v0.3.0

If the binary can’t be found, ensure your Nix profile is in your PATH.

export PATH="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin:$PATH"

Manual Build

With Cargo:

git clone https://github.com/woylie/ebb.git --branch v0.3.0

Shell Completions

ebb generate-completions --shell <SHELL>
