Installation

Install the envi CLI on macOS, Linux, Termux, or Windows.

The install script detects your OS and CPU architecture at runtime and grabs the right build from the latest release — there's nothing to configure.

curl -fsSL https://install.envisecrets.com | sh

Termux runs on Android's Linux kernel, so this is the same Linux build everyone else gets — it installs to Termux's own $PREFIX/bin automatically instead of ~/.local/bin, since that's already on PATH there.

Every download is checked against a SHA-256 checksum before anything is installed — if it doesn't match, the script fails loudly rather than installing a corrupted or tampered binary.

Verify it

envi version

Installing a specific version

Both scripts accept a version instead of defaulting to latest:

curl -fsSL https://install.envisecrets.com | sh -s v0.2.0

irm https://install.envisecrets.com/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1; ./install.ps1 v0.2.0

Choosing the install location

Set ENVI_INSTALL_DIR before running the script to install somewhere other than the default:

export ENVI_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin
curl -fsSL https://install.envisecrets.com | sh

Export the variable first, then pipe the script — ENVI_INSTALL_DIR=/path curl ... | sh only sets it for curl, not for the sh process reading the piped script, since they're separate processes in the pipeline.

Manual install

Prefer not to run a piped script? Grab a binary directly from the releases page — archives are provided for darwin (amd64/arm64), linux (amd64/arm64/armv7), and windows (amd64/arm64), each alongside a checksums.txt.

curl -LO https://github.com/shellhaki/envi/releases/latest/download/envi_<version>_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf envi_<version>_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv envi /usr/local/bin/
