Installation
Task offers many installation methods. Check out the available methods below.
Package Managers
Homebrew
If you're on macOS or Linux and have Homebrew installed, getting Task is as simple as running:
brew install go-task/tap/go-task
Snap
Task is available in Snapcraft, but keep in mind that your Linux distribution should allow classic confinement for Snaps to Task work right:
sudo snap install task --classic
Chocolatey
If you're on Windows and have Chocolatey installed, getting Task is as simple as running:
choco install go-task
This installation method is community owned.
Scoop
If you're on Windows and have Scoop installed, getting Task is as simple as running:
scoop install task
This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it may take some time until it's available on Scoop.
AUR
If you're on Arch Linux you can install Task from
AUR using your favorite
package manager such as yay, pacaur or yaourt:
yay -S go-task-bin
Alternatively, there's this package which installs from the source code instead of downloading the binary from the releases page:
yay -S go-task
This installation method is community owned.
Fedora
If you're on Fedora Linux you can install Task from the official
Fedora repository using dnf:
sudo dnf install go-task
This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it may take some time until it's available in Fedora.
Nix
If you're on NixOS or have Nix installed you can install Task from nixpkgs:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.go-task
This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it may take some time until it's available in nixpkgs.
Get The Binary
Binary
You can download the binary from the releases page on GitHub and
add to your $PATH.
DEB and RPM packages are also available.
The task_checksums.txt file contains the SHA-256 checksum for each file.
Install Script
We also have an install script which is very useful in scenarios like CI. Many thanks to GoDownloader for enabling the easy generation of this script.
By default, it installs on the ./bin directory relative to the working
directory:
sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d
It is possible to override the installation directory with the -b parameter.
On Linux, common choices are ~/.local/bin and ~/bin to install for the
current user or /usr/local/bin to install for all users:
sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin
:::caution
On macOS and Windows, ~/.local/bin and ~/bin are not added to $PATH by
default.

GitHub Actions
If you want to install Task in GitHub Actions you can try using this action by the Arduino team:
- name: Install Task
uses: arduino/setup-task@v1
This installation method is community owned.
Build From Source
Go Modules
First, make sure you have Go properly installed and setup.
You can easily install the latest release globally by running:
go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
Or you can install into another directory:
env GOBIN=/bin go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
If using Go 1.15 or earlier, instead use:
env GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
:::tip
For CI environments we recommend using the install script instead, which is faster and more stable, since it'll just download the latest released binary.
