Installation

policy is available on Linux, macOS and Windows platforms.

• Binaries for Linux, Windows and Mac are available as tarballs in the release page.

• Via Homebrew for macOS or LinuxBrew for Linux

  brew tap opcr-io/tap && brew install opcr-io/tap/policy

  Note: if you want to try a pre-release version before the official release:

  brew tap opcr-io/tap && brew install opcr-io/tap/policy-rc

• Via the nix package manager on nixOS, other linux distros, and macOS

  At the moment the package is only available in the unstable channel. Below are some examples using nix to install policy via the shell, NixOS configuration, and home-manager configuration.

  Shell:

  nix-env --install -A nixpkgs.opcr-policy

  NixOS:

    # your other config ...
    environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
      # your other packages ...
      opcr-policy
    ];

  home-manager:

    # your other config ...
    home.packages = with pkgs; [
      # your other packages ...
      opcr-policy
    ];

• Via a GO install

  go install github.com/opcr-io/policy/cmd/policy@latest
