# Installation

> Install roe with the .NET SDK, npm, or prebuilt binaries.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title=".NET SDK (recommended)">
    With the .NET SDK 8.0 or later:

    ```bash theme={null}
    dotnet tool install --global roe
    ```

    Or run it one-shot without installing (.NET 10 SDK or later):

    ```bash theme={null}
    dnx roe .
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="npm">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install --global roe-cli
    ```

    The npm package is called `roe-cli` (the name `roe` was already taken on
    npm), but the command it installs is still `roe`. To run it one-shot
    without installing:

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx roe-cli .
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Prebuilt binaries">
    Prebuilt binaries for Linux (x64/arm64), macOS (x64/arm64), and Windows
    (x64) are attached to
    [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Artmann/roe/releases), alongside a
    `SHA256SUMS` file for verification.

    <Warning>
      macOS quarantines binaries downloaded with a browser; clear the
      quarantine before running:

      ```bash theme={null}
      xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./roe
      ```
    </Warning>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="From source">
    roe is written in Rust. Clone the repository and build with Cargo:

    ```bash theme={null}
    git clone https://github.com/Artmann/roe.git
    cd roe
    cargo build --release
    ```

    See
    [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/Artmann/roe/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
    for building, testing, and release details.
