macOS

Homebrew is the preferred installation path on macOS. It keeps the CLI in the same update workflow as other developer tools and is the method used by the main Download page.

brew tap rstreamlabs/rstream
brew install rstream

After installation, verify that the binary is available:

rstream --version

Shell installer

The shell installer is useful when Homebrew is not available or when the CLI must be installed into a controlled prefix. It detects macOS and CPU architecture, downloads the matching release, installs it under /opt/rstream when that prefix is writable, and otherwise falls back to ~/.rstream.

/bin/sh -i -c "$(curl -fsSL https://rstream.io/scripts/install.sh)"

The installer requires a supported version of curl and macOS 10.13 or newer.

npm and manual downloads

Node.js-based environments can install the CLI through npm:

npm install -g @rstreamlabs/rstream-cli

Manual archive downloads are available from Download for offline installs, pinned versions, or custom images.
