How to install the Rune IDE on macOS or Linux with Rune

Install the latest Rune release with one command, or with Homebrew, and let it update itself.

Remote script. The install command pipes a script from Rune.build straight into sh, so download and read it first if you do not trust the source.

Who it is forA developer on macOS or Linux who wants to try Rune as a desktop IDE and terminal multiplexer without building it.

The problemYou want a fast native IDE that does not run on Electron, and you need a quick way to get it onto your machine.

The outcomeRune is installed and ready for your first steps from the getting started guide.

What you need first

  • A macOS or Linux machine for the desktop app, or Docker for the headless node
  • Git installed to clone the source repository
  • Go and make installed to build Rune from source
  • An existing Rune installation before installing extensions with pkg install

Steps

  1. Run curl -fsSL https://rune.build/install.sh | sh to install the latest release, which keeps itself up to date.
  2. Or, on macOS or Linux with Homebrew, run brew install unstablebuild/tap/rune.
  3. Check the requirements and first steps in the getting started guide at docs.rune.build.
  4. Open the supported languages list at docs.rune.build/languages/supported to confirm your language has built-in intelligence.

Prompt for your agent

For the repo unstablebuild/rune, install the latest release on this macOS or Linux machine using the install command in its README, then report the installed version. Verify the install by confirming the rune command runs.

Caveat. Packages from Homebrew, the .deb file, and the AUR are updated by your package manager instead of by Rune itself.
