🔍 What happens when you run this?

The install script performs these steps automatically:

1

Detect your system

Identifies your OS (Linux, macOS, WSL), architecture (x86_64, ARM64), and package manager.

2

Download the right package

Fetches the correct ArmoredGate binary for your system from our global CDN.

3

Verify the download

Checks SHA256 checksum to ensure the file wasn't tampered with during download.

4

Install to /usr/local/bin

Places the ArmoredGate binary in your system path. May prompt for sudo password.

5

Verify installation

Runs armoredgate --version to confirm everything works correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe to run?
Yes. The install script is open source, GPG-signed, and does exactly what's described above. It downloads a pre-built binary, verifies its checksum, and places it in your system path. No hidden processes, no phone-home telemetry, no backdoors. You can (and should) read the script before running it.
What permissions does it need?
The script may ask for sudo to install the binary to /usr/local/bin. This is the only elevated permission required. ArmoredGate itself runs with the minimum permissions needed for container management.
Can I install without piping to bash?
Absolutely! Download the tarball directly from the links below, extract it, and move the binary to your path manually:

tar -xzf armoredgate-*.tar.gz && sudo mv armoredgate /usr/local/bin/
What operating systems are supported?
Linux: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 8+, Rocky Linux 8+, Fedora 36+, and most modern distributions.
macOS: macOS 12 (Monterey) and later, both Intel and Apple Silicon.
WSL: Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 with Ubuntu or Debian.
How do I uninstall?
Simply remove the binary:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/armoredgate

Configuration files are stored in ~/.config/armoredgate/ — remove that directory too for a complete uninstall.
