Downloads

Most people should use the install commands on the Installation page. They pick the right file for your computer, check it, and set everything up for you.

This page is for when you want the file itself — to install by hand, to keep a copy, or to check a download you already have.

Install commands #

macOS and Linux

bash

curl -fsSL https://growther.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

powershell

irm https://growther.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Homebrew

bash

brew install growther/tap/growther-c5

Direct downloads #

Pick the file that matches your computer. If you are not sure which one you need, use an install command above instead — it works this out for you.

No published builds yet Direct downloads and checksums will appear here once the first release is published. The install commands above already work.

Check your download #

Every file has a SHA-256 — a short string calculated from the file's contents. If even one byte of the file is different, the string comes out completely different.

Each build in the table above has a Copy button next to its SHA-256. Copy it, then compare it to what your computer calculates. (If no builds are listed yet, there is nothing to check here — the install commands verify for you.)

macOS and Linux

bash

shasum -a 256 growther-node22-macos-arm64.tar.gz

Windows (PowerShell)

powershell

Get-FileHash growther-node22-win-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

If the two strings match, your download is genuine and undamaged. If they do not match, delete the file and download it again.

Danger Do not run a file whose SHA-256 does not match. A mismatch means the file is not the one Growther.ai published.

The install commands do this check for you automatically, and so does growther update. See Verifying releases for the full picture.

Which channel should I use? #

Channel	Who it is for
`stable`	Everyone. Tested and ready for daily use.
`beta`	People who want new features early and can hit bugs.
`dev`	Testing only. Expect rough edges.

Stick with stable unless you have a reason not to. You can switch channels at any time — see Updating C5.

Older versions #

Every version ever published is kept, along with its checksums, in the release archive.

You do not normally need an old version. If a new one causes trouble, growther rollback puts back the one you had before, which is easier and safer than downloading by hand.
