Manual Installation

This method is not recommended as it can lead to unexpected installation. Use this as a last way to install winch; we will not provide any help with this method.

1. Open Terminal:

   • Launch your terminal application.

2. Check for Sudo Access:

   • Ensure you have sudo access. You may need to enter your password when prompted.

3. Create Installation Directory:

   • Run the following command to create the directory where Winch will be installed:

     mkdir -p "$HOME/.winch/bin"
     

4. Download the Winch Binary:

   • For Linux:
     • Run the following command to download the Linux binary:

       curl -fsSL https://github.com/Winch-Team/winch/releases/download/v0.1.0/winch-gnu-linux-x86_64 -o "$HOME/.winch/bin/winch"
       

   • For macOS:
     • Run the following command to download the macOS binary:

       curl -fsSL https://github.com/Winch-Team/winch/releases/download/v0.1.0/winch-macos-x86_64 -o "$HOME/.winch/bin/winch"
       

5. Make the Binary Executable:

   • Change the permissions to make the Winch binary executable:

     chmod +x "$HOME/.winch/bin/winch"
     

6. Add Winch to Your PATH:

   • To make Winch accessible from the terminal, add the following line to your shell profile (~/.bashrc for Bash or ~/.zshrc for Zsh):

     export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.winch/bin/
     

7. Restart Your Shell:

   • Close and reopen your terminal

8. Verify Installation:

   • Run the following command to verify that Winch is installed correctly:

     winch --version
     

Note:

• Ensure that you have internet access during this installation process as the script downloads binaries from GitHub.
• If you encounter any issues, please check your internet connection or the URLs provided in the commands.
