# 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][homebrew] installed, getting
Task is as simple as running:
```bash
brew install go-task/tap/go-task
```
### Snap
Task is available in [Snapcraft][snapcraft], but keep in mind that your
Linux distribution should allow classic confinement for Snaps to Task work
right:
```bash
sudo snap install task --classic
```
### Chocolatey
If you're on Windows and have [Chocolatey][choco] installed, getting
Task is as simple as running:
```bash
choco install go-task
```
This installation method is community owned.
### Scoop
If you're on Windows and have [Scoop][scoop] installed, getting
Task is as simple as running:
```cmd
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](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-task-bin) using your favorite
package manager such as `yay`, `pacaur` or `yaourt`:
```cmd
yay -S go-task-bin
```
Alternatively, there's
[this package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go-task) which installs from
the source code instead of downloading the binary from the
[releases page](https://github.com/go-task/task/releases):
```cmd
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](https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/golang-github-task/go-task/) repository using `dnf`:
```cmd
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](https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/golang-github-task/go-task/).
### Nix
If you're on NixOS or have Nix installed
you can install Task from [nixpkgs](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs):
```cmd
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](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs).
## Get The Binary
### Binary
You can download the binary from the [releases page on GitHub][releases] and
add to your `$PATH`.
DEB and RPM packages are also available.
The `task_checksums.txt` file contains the SHA-256 checksum for each file.
### Install Script
We also have an [install script][installscript] which is very useful in
scenarios like CI. Many thanks to [GoDownloader][godownloader] for enabling the
easy generation of this script.
By default, it installs on the `./bin` directory relative to the working
directory:
```bash
sh -c "$(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:
```bash
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](https://github.com/arduino/setup-task)
by the Arduino team:
```yaml
- 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][go] properly installed and setup.
You can easily install the latest release globally by running:
```bash
go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
```
Or you can install into another directory:
```bash
env GOBIN=/bin go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
```
If using Go 1.15 or earlier, instead use:
```bash
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](#get-the-binary)
instead, which is faster and more stable, since it'll just download the latest
released binary.
