Installing the Minder CLI

The minder CLI is built for amd64 and arm64 architectures on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

You can install minder using one of the following methods:

macOS​

The easiest way to install minder for macOS systems is through Homebrew:

brew install minder

Alternatively, you can download a .tar.gz release and unpack it with the following:

tar -xzf minder_${RELEASE}_darwin_${ARCH}.tar.gz minder
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine minder

Windows​

For Windows, the built-in winget tool is the easiest way to install minder:

winget install stacklok.minder

Alternatively, you can download a zipfile containing the minder CLI and install the binary yourself.

Linux​

We provide pre-built static binaries for Linux at: https://github.com/mindersec/minder/releases.

Building from source​

You can also build the minder CLI from source using go install github.com/mindersec/minder/cmd/cli@latest, or by following the build instructions in the repository.
