# Install commitdog on Linux, macOS, and Windows

> Install commitdog on Linux, macOS, and Windows using a one-line curl script, Homebrew, the AUR, or a PowerShell command. Setup takes under a minute.

commitdog ships as a single binary with no runtime dependencies. Pick the installation method for your platform below, verify the install, and then move on to [setup](/setup) to configure your platform token.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Linux">
    Run the install script with curl. It detects your architecture (amd64 or arm64), downloads the correct binary from the latest GitHub release, and installs it to `/usr/local/bin`.

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.sh | sh
    ```

    If you are on **Arch Linux**, you can install from the AUR instead:

    ```bash theme={null}
    yay -S commitdog-bin
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="macOS">
    You have two options on macOS: the curl script or Homebrew.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash curl (recommended) theme={null}
      curl -fsSL https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.sh | sh
      ```

      ```bash Homebrew theme={null}
      brew tap aysdog/commitdog && brew install commitdog
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    The curl script works on both Intel (amd64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) Macs. Homebrew keeps commitdog up to date alongside your other packages.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows">
    Run the following command in a PowerShell terminal. It downloads and installs the commitdog binary for Windows (amd64).

    ```powershell theme={null}
    irm https://aysdog.com/install-commitdog.ps1 | iex
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Verify the installation

After installing, confirm that commitdog is on your PATH:

```bash theme={null}
commitdog --version
```

You should see the version number printed to your terminal.

## Next step

Once commitdog is installed, run `commitdog setup` to configure your email and platform token. See [Setup](/setup) for instructions.
