Install Plexi

Install the tiling terminal host, CLI, and shell completions.

Current release channel

Choose your platform

Each command installs the current Plexi alpha release for its supported platform.

01
macOS (Apple Silicon; Intel when published)
curl -fsSL https://plexiapp.com/install | bash

Downloads the matching current macOS alpha release. Requires bash, curl, tar, and shasum; it does not need Rust, Git, or administrator access. The installer selects your architecture; Intel works when that release publishes its x64 archive and otherwise reports the missing asset clearly.

02
Linux (x86_64, X11)
curl -fsSL https://plexiapp.com/install | bash

Downloads the current Linux x64 alpha release. Requires bash, curl, tar, and sha256sum (or shasum). Plexi supports X11 sessions; Wayland is not supported. This is a download install, not an apt, AUR, Flatpak, AppImage, .deb, or .rpm package.

03
Windows (x64)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianjamesburke/PLEXI/alpha/scripts/install-windows.ps1 | iex

Run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 or later. It downloads the current Windows x64 alpha release and verifies its SHA-256 checksum; it does not build from source. Windows shell completions are TBD. The Unix curl | bash command is not a Windows installer.

Alpha builds are unsigned and not notarized. Before bypassing an operating-system warning, read the unsigned-build opening guide. From a macOS or Linux checkout, scripts/install.sh --from-source alpha is the explicit source-build path and requires Rust plus Python 3; Windows has no equivalent source-install script.
