Installation

There are several ways to get hashdir. Full details can be found here.

  • Homebrew*: brew install ultimateanu/software/hashdir
  • dotnet: dotnet tool install --global hashdir
  • Scoop: scoop bucket add ultimateanu https://github.com/ultimateanu/homebrew-software; scoop install hashdir
  • Stand-alone binary: latest version for macOS, Windows, and Linux can be found at releases
  • AUR (Arch User Repository): If you are using an Arch-based distribution, you can build and install the hashdir package from the AUR

*Homebrew currently requires a project to have 50 stars to be included in core. So I’ve set up a custom tap for now that still allows easy installation. If you like this project, please consider starring on Github and adding a formula to Homebrew core eventually.
