Install the CLI

The Watasu CLI is a single binary called watasu. It handles app management, deploys (via Git), config vars, add-ons, domains, and database operations.

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://watasuio.github.io/watasu-cli/install.sh | bash

The script downloads the latest release, verifies its checksum, and installs the binary to ~/.local/bin (or ~/bin, whichever exists or is on your PATH). If the destination isn’t on your PATH, the script tells you what to add.

To choose the destination yourself:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://watasuio.github.io/watasu-cli/install.sh | WATASU_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin bash

To pin a specific version instead of the latest:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://watasuio.github.io/watasu-cli/install.sh | bash -s -- v0.1.5
Terminal window
irm https://watasuio.github.io/watasu-cli/install.ps1 | iex

Installs watasu.exe to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Watasu\bin. Set WATASU_INSTALL_DIR first to pick a different directory.

Terminal window
brew tap watasuio/watasu
brew install watasu
Terminal window
watasu --version
watasu --help

You should see the version and the top-level command list.

  • Homebrew: brew upgrade watasu
  • Install script: re-run the install command — it always fetches the latest release.
