Installing glint

Requirements

• Go 1.21 or later (for building from source)
• Any 64-bit Linux, macOS, or Windows system (for pre-built binaries)

---

Option 1 — Build from source

git clone https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint
cd glint
go build -o glint ./cmd/glint/...
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

Or with Task:

task build
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

---

Option 2 — Download a pre-built binary

Pre-built binaries are attached to each release.

Platform	File
Linux x86-64	glint-vX.Y.Z-linux-amd64
Linux ARM64	glint-vX.Y.Z-linux-arm64
macOS Intel	glint-vX.Y.Z-darwin-amd64
macOS Apple Silicon	glint-vX.Y.Z-darwin-arm64
Windows x86-64	glint-vX.Y.Z-windows-amd64.exe

Linux (amd64)

VERSION=v0.4.0
curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-linux-amd64
chmod +x glint
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

Linux (ARM64 — Raspberry Pi 4, AWS Graviton, …)

VERSION=v0.4.0
curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-linux-arm64
chmod +x glint
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

macOS (Apple Silicon — M1/M2/M3)

VERSION=v0.4.0
curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-darwin-arm64
chmod +x glint
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

macOS (Intel)

VERSION=v0.4.0
curl -Lo glint https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/releases/download/${VERSION}/glint-${VERSION}-darwin-amd64
chmod +x glint
sudo mv glint /usr/local/bin/

Verify the installation

glint --version

---

Option 3 — Homebrew (macOS and Linux)

A Homebrew tap is available at k3nny/glint.

First-time setup: create a GitHub repository named homebrew-glint under your account and copy Formula/glint.rb into it. Users then install via the tap as shown below.

brew tap k3nny/glint https://github.com/k3nny/homebrew-glint
brew install glint

To upgrade:

brew upgrade glint

The formula builds glint from source using Go, which Homebrew provides automatically as a build dependency. No pre-built binary download is needed.

Updating the formula on a new release

After tagging a new release, update Formula/glint.rb:

1. Compute the tarball checksum:

   curl -sL https://git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz | sha256sum
   

2. Update url and sha256 in the formula.
3. Commit and push to homebrew-glint.

Option 4 — Go install

If you already have Go 1.21+:

go install git.k3nny.fr/k3nny/glint/cmd/glint@latest

The binary is placed in $(go env GOPATH)/bin/. Add that directory to your PATH if it is not already there:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"
