Installation#

Restsh runs in any current Linux environment and also on macOS. The Bash shell is required.

Linux#

Most packages should be already installed on a standard Linux installation.

  • awk

  • bash

  • coreutils

  • curl

  • gettext-base

  • git

  • grep

  • jq

  • newt (whiptail)

  • sed

  • yq

Warning

Restsh is not compatible with the BusyBox utilities, which are used by Alpine Linux, for example.

macOS#

The required packages must be installed using Homebrew.

brew install bash curl yq jq coreutils findutils gnu-sed gawk grep newt

Then adjust the PATH accordingly:

PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/findutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gawk/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
