Downloading a Pre-built Binary

Each GitHub release includes static radar binaries for Linux and macOS on amd64 and arm64. The release also includes a checksums.txt file with the SHA-256 checksum of each binary.

Use the following steps to install a pre-built binary on Linux:

  1. Download the binary for your architecture and the checksum file from the latest release; the following commands download the amd64 binary:

    curl -fLO https://github.com/pgEdge/radar/releases/latest/download/radar-linux-amd64
curl -fLO https://github.com/pgEdge/radar/releases/latest/download/checksums.txt

  2. Verify the binary against the published checksum; the command prints OK after the name of a matching binary:

    sha256sum --check --ignore-missing checksums.txt

  3. Make the binary executable and move the binary into a directory on your PATH:

    chmod +x radar-linux-amd64
sudo mv radar-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/radar

On macOS, download radar-darwin-arm64 or radar-darwin-amd64 instead. Run shasum -a 256 on the binary, and compare the output with the matching line in checksums.txt.
