Install Dagger

Option 1: Use Homebrew (Mac OS only)

From your Mac OS terminal, run the following command:

brew install dagger/tap/dagger

If dagger is already installed, you can upgrade it using this command:

brew update
brew upgrade dagger

Option 2: Run a shell script

From a terminal, run the following command:

curl -sfL https://releases.dagger.io/dagger/install.sh | sh

You now have the dagger binary in the local directory under ./bin/dagger.

You can then install it globally on your system:

sudo mv ./bin/dagger /usr/local/bin

Option 2 (Windows): Run a shell script

From a terminal, run the following command:

curl https://releases.dagger.io/dagger/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1 ; ./install.ps1; rm install.ps1

We try to move the dagger binary under C:\Windows\System32 but in case use missing the necessary permission we'll save everything under <your home folder>/dagger

Option 3: Download a binary release

Open your web browser to the latest release.

From the assets section, download the archive corresponding to your OS and Arch.

Option 4: Install from source

You will need Go version 1.16 or later.

1. Clone the dagger repository

git clone https://github.com/dagger/dagger.git

2. Build the dagger binary.

cd dagger; make

3. Copy the dagger tool to a location listed in your $PATH. For example, to copy it to /usr/local/bin:

cp ./cmd/dagger/dagger /usr/local/bin
