Pick whichever channel fits your machine. All three ship the same CLI.

Homebrew (macOS and Linux)

A self-contained binary, no runtime required. Upgrade later with brew upgrade brew-cli.

npm

Requires Node 20 or newer. For one-off runs without installing anything, use npx @brew.new/cli (handy inside CI jobs and agent sandboxes that already have Node).

Prebuilt Binaries

Every GitHub release attaches standalone binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (x64 and arm64), and Windows, plus a checksums.txt with SHA-256 hashes. Download, verify, chmod +x, and place it on your PATH.

Verify the Install

Then authenticate and run your first command:

Staying Current

New platform capabilities ship as new CLI releases. Upgrade through the channel you installed with, for example brew upgrade brew-cli or npm update -g @brew.new/cli. The full source lives at github.com/GetBrew/brew-cli.
