Installation¶

Bolt is distributed as a standalone binary that can be installed through several methods.

Go install¶

If you have Go installed, you can install Bolt using go install:

go install git.sr.ht/~eugenetriguba/bolt/cmd/bolt@v0.12.0

This will install Bolt to your $GOBIN directory. Make sure that $GOBIN is in your $PATH.

If you're on macOS or Linux and use Homebrew, you can install Bolt from the tap:

brew tap eugenetriguba/bolt https://git.sr.ht/~eugenetriguba/homebrew-bolt
brew install bolt

After installation, verify that Bolt is correctly installed by checking the version:

bolt version

You should see output displaying the current version of Bolt.

Once installed, head over to the Tutorial to learn how to use Bolt for your first migration.
