# Installation
## Binary
Or you can download the binary from the [releases][releases] page and add to
your $PATH. DEB and RPM packages are also available.
The `task_checksums.txt` file contains the sha256 checksum for each file.
## Homebrew
If you're on macOS or Linux and have [Homebrew][homebrew] installed, getting
Task is as simple as running:
```bash
brew install go-task/tap/go-task
```
> This installation method is only currently supported on amd64 architectures.
## Snap
Task is available for [Snapcraft][snapcraft], but keep in mind that your
Linux distribution should allow classic confinement for Snaps to Task work
right:
```bash
sudo snap install task
```
## Scoop
If you're on Windows and have [Scoop][scoop] installed, use `extras` bucket
to install Task like:
```cmd
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install task
```
This installation method is community owned. After a new release of Task, it
may take some time until it's available on Scoop.
## Arch Linux
If you're on Arch Linux you can install Task from
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/taskfile-git) using your favorite
package manager such as `yay`, `pacaur` or `yaourt`:
```cmd
yay -S taskfile-git
```
This installation method is community owned, but since it's `-git` version of
the package, it's always latest available version based on the Git repository.
## Go
Task now uses [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules), which
means you may have trouble compiling it on older Go versions or using
`$GOPATH`.
For CI environments we recommend using the [Install Script](#install-script)
instead, which is faster and more stable, since it'll just download the latest
released binary, instead of compiling the edge (master branch) version.
Installing in another directory:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/go-task/task
cd task
# compiling binary to $GOPATH/bin
go install -v ./cmd/task
# compiling it to another location
# use -o ./task.exe on Windows
go build -v -o ./task ./cmd/task
```
Both methods requires having the [Go][go] environment properly setup locally.
## Install script
We also have a [install script][installscript], which is very useful on
scenarios like CIs. Many thanks to [godownloader][godownloader] for allowing
easily generating this script.
```bash
curl -sL https://taskfile.dev/install.sh | sh
```
> This method will download the binary on the local `./bin` directory by default.
## GitHub Actions
If you want to install Task in GitHub Actions you can try using
[this action](https://github.com/arduino/actions/tree/master/setup-taskfile)
by the Arduino team:
```yaml
- name: Install Task
uses: Arduino/actions/setup-taskfile@master
```
This installation method is community owned.
