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

  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
