Install from a release binary

For users who don't want to pipe a remote shell script. Identical end state to the install script, just done by hand.

#1. Pick a release

Releases live at https://github.com/stowage-dev/stowage/releases. Each tagged release publishes:

  • stowage-linux-amd64
  • stowage-linux-arm64
  • stowage-darwin-amd64
  • stowage-darwin-arm64
  • stowage-windows-amd64.exe
  • SHA256SUMS

#2. Download the binary and the checksums

VER=v1.0.0
ARCH=stowage-linux-amd64

curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/stowage-dev/stowage/releases/download/$VER/$ARCH"
curl -fsSLO "https://github.com/stowage-dev/stowage/releases/download/$VER/SHA256SUMS"

#3. Verify the checksum

sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS

On macOS use shasum -a 256 and compare manually:

shasum -a 256 "$ARCH"
grep "$ARCH" SHA256SUMS

On Windows:

$expected = (Select-String -Path SHA256SUMS -Pattern 'stowage-windows-amd64.exe').Line.Split()[0]
$actual   = (Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 stowage-windows-amd64.exe).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expected -ne $actual) { throw 'checksum mismatch' }

#4. Move it into place

chmod +x "$ARCH"
sudo mv "$ARCH" /usr/local/bin/stowage

#5. Verify it runs

stowage --help

You should see the four subcommands: serve, quickstart, create-admin, hash-password.
