Installation | homeport

Install the homeport CLI on macOS or Linux — Homebrew, a one-line script, or a prebuilt binary.

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.

What runs where

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