Supports Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel Macs running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later.

Run in Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://stackie.dev/install.sh | sh

What this does:

  • Downloads stackie and stackied for your architecture
  • Verifies SHA256 checksums before installing
  • Installs to ~/.stackie/bin/
  • Adds ~/.stackie/bin to your shell PATH

Verify installation:

stackie --version

After install, you may need to run source ~/.zshrc (or source ~/.bashrc) to use stackie in your current terminal session.

Want to inspect the script first?

Download the script, review it, then run it manually:

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://stackie.dev/install.sh -o install.sh

sh install.sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm stackie.dev/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1

Once installed, use the built-in update command to stay current. This updates all three binaries atomically.

macOS / Linux:

# Remove binaries and data
rm -rf ~/.stackie

# Remove PATH entry from your shell rc file
# Edit ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc and delete the
# # stackie start ... # stackie end block

Windows:

# In PowerShell (removes binaries and data)
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.stackie"

# Remove PATH entry (PowerShell)
$path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH','User')
