Installation & versioning

Binary downloads are available on the releases tab, and through Sourcegraph.com. If the latest version does not work for you, consider using the version compatible with your Sourcegraph instance instead.

Installation: Mac OS

Latest version

BASH
curl -L https://sourcegraph.com/.api/src-cli/src_darwin_amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/src
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/src

or with Homebrew:

BASH
brew install sourcegraph/src-cli/src-cli

or with npm:

BASH
npm install -g @sourcegraph/src

Version compatible with your Sourcegraph instance

Replace sourcegraph.example.com with your Sourcegraph instance URL:

BASH
curl -L https://sourcegraph.example.com/.api/src-cli/src_darwin_amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/src
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/src

or, if you know the specific version to target, for example 5.8.1579:

BASH
brew install sourcegraph/src-cli/src-cli@{CURRENT_VERSION_NO_V}

or with npm/npx:

BASH
npx @sourcegraph/src@{CURRENT_VERSION_NO_V} version

Note: Versioned formulas are available on Homebrew for Sourcegraph versions 3.43.2 and later.
