Altitude

Install Altitude

Altitude ships as a single native binary — no Node, no runtime to install.

The one-liner (macOS & Linux)

Detects your platform, downloads the matching binary, verifies its SHA-256, and installs to ~/.local/bin/altitude.

curl -fsSL https://getaltitude.dev/install.sh | sh

Prefer to read it first? The script is served from /install.sh.

Manual downloads

Every release is published to dl.getaltitude.dev. These links always point at the latest build.

Verify the download

Each release publishes checksums.txt (standard sha256sum format) and a machine-readable latest.json manifest alongside the binaries.

# download the binary and the checksums manifest
curl -fLO https://dl.getaltitude.dev/releases/latest/altitude-darwin-arm64
curl -fLO https://dl.getaltitude.dev/releases/latest/checksums.txt

# verify the download against the published SHA-256
shasum -a 256 -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing

# install onto your PATH
chmod +x altitude-darwin-arm64
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv altitude-darwin-arm64 ~/.local/bin/altitude

On Linux, use sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing instead of shasum.

Windows

There is no install script for Windows yet — download altitude-windows-x64.exe manually, verify its hash, and place it on your PATH.

# in PowerShell — download the binary and the checksums manifest
curl.exe -fLO https://dl.getaltitude.dev/releases/latest/altitude-windows-x64.exe
curl.exe -fLO https://dl.getaltitude.dev/releases/latest/checksums.txt

# compare this hash against the altitude-windows-x64.exe line in checksums.txt
Get-FileHash .\altitude-windows-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
