Installation
Native launcher
Linux
On Linux, download and run the coursier launcher with
$ curl -fLo cs https://git.io/coursier-cli-linux &&
chmod +x cs &&
./cs
macOS
Download and run the coursier launcher with
$ curl -fLo cs https://git.io/coursier-cli-macos &&
chmod +x cs &&
(xattr -d com.apple.quarantine cs || true) &&
./cs
Note the xattr
command to circumvent notarization on macOS Catalina.
Alternatively, the native launcher can be installed via homebrew with
$ brew install coursier/formulas/coursier
$ cs
Windows
On Windows, use
> bitsadmin /transfer cs-cli https://git.io/coursier-cli-windows-exe "%cd%\cs.exe"
> .\cs --help
Note that this must be run with cmd.exe
, not PowerShell
.
JAR-based launcher
In case you run into any issue with the native launcher, a JAR-based launcher is available.
The commands below install the JAR-based launcher as
coursier
, which can be substituted tocs
in the various examples on this website.
Linux / macOS
Download and run the launcher with
$ curl -fLo coursier https://git.io/coursier-cli &&
chmod +x coursier &&
./coursier
Note that the JAR-based launcher requires Java 8 or later to run.
That is, a command like java -version
should print a version >= 8.
The JAR-based launcher weights only about 25 kB and can be easily embedded as is in other projects. It downloads the artifacts required to launch coursier on the first run.
Alternatively, on macOS, the JAR-based launcher can be installed via homebrew with
$ brew install coursier/formulas/coursier
$ coursier
Windows
Install and run the JAR-based coursier launcher from the current directory at the Windows prompt, with
> bitsadmin /transfer downloadCoursierCli https://git.io/coursier-cli "%cd%\coursier"
> bitsadmin /transfer downloadCoursierBat https://git.io/coursier-bat "%cd%\coursier.bat"
You can then run coursier from the same directory, like
> coursier resolve io.circe:circe-core_2.12:0.10.0
Arch Linux
Install it from AUR,
$ pacaur -S coursier
FreeBSD
Install it via pkg
from the Ports Collection,
$ pkg install coursier
zsh completions
If you use ZSH, simple tab-completions are available by writing the coursier completion data into your completions directory. You can install the completions with:
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
cs --completions zsh > ~/.zsh/completion/cs
echo 'fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'autoload -Uz compinit ; compinit' >> ~/.zshrc
