✨ Quick Install for Linux and macOS

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derekwisong/datui/main/scripts/install/install.sh | sh

Don’t like piping to shell? See the alternative methods below.

Download a ready-to-use copy from the Latest Release on GitHub.

Datui runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows

Install via the derekwisong/datui tap:

brew tap derekwisong/datui
brew install datui

winget install derekwisong.datui

Datui is available in the Arch User Repository as datui-bin. Install it with an AUR helper such as paru or yay:

paru -S datui-bin

yay -S datui-bin

Get the module from PyPI and launch Datui right from a Python console.

pip install datui

See Python Module.

Get the link to the .rpm file for the release version you want from the Latest Release.

Use dnf to install that link.

dnf install https://github.com/derekwisong/datui/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/datui-X.Y.Z-1.x86_64.rpm

Download the .deb file for the release version you want from the Latest Release.

Use apt to install that file:

apt install datui-X.Y.Z-1.x86_64.deb

Datui is built using Rust, leveraging its Cargo toolkit for compilation.

To compile a release-quality executable, clone the repository and use cargo to build:

git clone https://github.com/derekwisong/datui.git
cd datui
cargo build --release

If desired, before building you could check out a specific release tag

git tag --list
git checkout <tag from the list>
cargo build --release

The datui executable can be found in the target/release directory.

Run it directly, or copy the file to a location on your PATH environment variable to make it discoverable by your terminal.

You may use cargo to install Datui locally into Cargo’s binary cache. (The ~/.cargo/bin directory on Linux).

cargo install --path .
