## Installer script source

You can view that [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/src/branch/main/scripts/installer/installer).

## Installer prerequisites

* `tar`
* `wget`
* `curl` (only if using `curl` method below)

## Stable release

### Wget

```
wget -q -O - https://install.abra.coopcloud.tech | bash
```

### Curl

```
curl https://install.abra.coopcloud.tech | bash
```

### NixOS

The install example is based on the [using nix flakes wiki page](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/flakes#Using_nix_flakes_with_NixOS).

1. Add the flake to your inputs
```nix
inputs = {
  abra = {
    url = "git+https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra.git";
  };
};
```
2. Add abra package to system packages, replace _x86_64-linux_ with the value according to your system 
```nix
{
  pkgs,
  abra,
  ...
}:
{
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    abra.packages.x86_64-linux.default
  ];
}
```

## Release candidate

### Wget

```
wget -q -O - https://install.abra.coopcloud.tech | bash -s -- --rc
```

### Curl

```
curl https://install.abra.coopcloud.tech | bash -s -- --rc
```

## Manual verification 

You can download the `abra` binary yourself from the [releases
page](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/releases) along with the
`checksums.txt` file and verify it's integrity with the following command.

```bash
sha256sum -c checksums.txt --ignore-missing
```

If you see a line starting with `abra_...` which matches the filename you downloaded and it ends with `OK` - you're good to go!

```
abra_X.X.X-beta_linux_x86_64: OK
```

Otherwise, you downloaded a corrupted file and you should re-download it.

## Compile from source

Follow the guide [here](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/hack/)

## Using Docker

```
docker run \
  -v $HOME/.abra:/.abra \
  git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra app ls
```

!!! note
    If you're using symlinks, e.g. for [sharing
    `~/.abra`](/operators/handbook/#sharing-abra), add more `-v` options for
    each directory you're symlinking to, e.g. `-v
    $HOME/Projects/CoopCloud/apps:/home/user/Projects/CoopCloud/apps`
