Installation

homeport runs on your laptop or CI. The server needs nothing installed but SSH — the CLI does everything else over the wire.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew install homeport-sh/tap/homeport

Upgrades come through brew upgrade homeport.

Install script (Linux / macOS)

curl -fsSL https://homeport.sh/install | sh

Prebuilt binary

Grab the archive for your OS and architecture from the releases page, unpack it, and put homeport on your PATH. Builds ship for macOS and Linux on both amd64 and arm64.

Verify it

Run homeport version — it prints the CLI version, which tracks the release tag exactly.

What runs where

Machine	Needs
Your laptop / CI	the homeport CLI
The server	SSH only (Caddy + the homeportd helper are installed by bootstrap)

Next: go from a bare VPS to a live app in Quick start.
