# Installation & versioning

Binary downloads are available on the [releases tab](https://github.com/sourcegraph/src-cli/releases), 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 `{CURRENT_VERSION_NO_V}`:

```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.
