How to install BotPager

This guide shows you how to install a standalone executable or the npm package.

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://botpager.reostack.com/cli/install.sh | bash

Follow the printed PATH instructions. The installer does not edit shell profiles.

For a fixed release or custom destination, download the installer first, then supply its variables to Bash:

curl -fsSL https://botpager.reostack.com/cli/install.sh -o /tmp/botpager-install.sh
BOTPAGER_VERSION=0.3.1 BOTPAGER_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" bash /tmp/botpager-install.sh

Windows x64

Run in PowerShell:

irm https://botpager.reostack.com/cli/install.ps1 | iex

Follow the printed PATH instructions. For custom values, set $env:BOTPAGER_VERSION and $env:BOTPAGER_INSTALL_DIR before running the installer.

npm

With Node.js 20 or newer installed:

npm install --global @reostack/botpager

If npm rejects a recent release because of a publication-age policy, wait until that policy permits the release or use the standalone installation with your organization’s approval. BotPager does not change npm’s policies.

Verify the executable

botpager --version
botpager --help
