Installing Air

If you’d like to use Air at the command line, you can use one of our standalone installers.

To install Air as a command line tool:

On macOS and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://github.com/posit-dev/air/releases/latest/download/air-installer.sh | sh

On Windows:

powershell -c "irm https://github.com/posit-dev/air/releases/latest/download/air-installer.ps1 | iex"

For a specific version:

curl -LsSf https://github.com/posit-dev/air/releases/download/0.1.1/air-installer.sh | sh
powershell -c "irm https://github.com/posit-dev/air/releases/download/0.1.1/air-installer.ps1 | iex"

The installer scripts will automatically add Air to your PATH. The very first time you install Air, for the PATH modifications to be applied you’ll need to restart your terminal.

On Windows, the first time you install Air it requires a full system restart for the PATH modification to take effect. We are working on improving this.
