Hayate ships as a single self-contained binary with no runtime dependencies. You can install it on macOS, Linux, Windows, or Android (Termux) in under a minute using the one-liner for your platform, or build it from source via Cargo if you prefer. Pick the tab that matches your system and you’ll be ready to transfer files immediately.
Run the install script in your terminal. It downloads the latest release binary for your architecture and places it in ~/.local/bin (or /usr/local/bin if you have write access):
The script detects your OS and CPU architecture automatically. It works on Apple Silicon, Intel Macs, x86_64 Linux, and ARM Linux.

​
Verify Your Installation

After installing, confirm that Hayate is on your PATH and check the version:
You should see output like hayate 4.x.x. If the command is not found, ensure the install directory is included in your shell’s PATH and restart your terminal session.

​
Prebuilt Binaries

Every release includes prebuilt binaries for all supported platforms. If you prefer to download a binary manually rather than using an install script, visit the GitHub Releases page and grab the archive that matches your OS and architecture.
