Install
brew install darioblanco/tap/pulpo
That's it. The daemon auto-starts when you run your first command.
Linux / manual install# Linux (systemd)
curl -fsSL https://github.com/darioblanco/pulpo/releases/latest/download/pulpod-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz | tar xJ
sudo mv pulpod pulpo /usr/local/bin/
pulpod # or: make service-install-linux
For a one-liner install or upgrade that works on macOS and Linux, run the script that auto-detects your OS/arch:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darioblanco/pulpo/main/scripts/install-pulpo.sh | bash
Set `BIN_DIR` or `TARGET` when invoking the script if you need a different install directory or target triple. Re-running the script always pulls the latest release, so it doubles as the update command.
Download binaries from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/darioblanco/pulpo/releases).
