Here you can find unreleased “nightly” binaries, if any. By using these and providing feedback, eg in chat, you will be helping to make the next hledger release better.

Here’s what’s new since hledger 1.42: commits

Install

All platforms

If you have eget, that’s a convenient way to download the right binaries for your machine:

eget simonmichael/hledger --all --tag nightly

Otherwise:

GNU/Linux, 64-bit Intel

At the command line:

cd /usr/local/bin
curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/refs/tags/1.42.99/hledger-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar xzf hledger-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd
hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version    # should show a recent .99 version

Mac, 64-bit ARM or Intel

In a terminal window (don’t use your web browser to download, it won’t authorise the binaries):

For ARM macs: cd /usr/local/bin curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/refs/tags/1.42.99/hledger-mac-arm64.tar.gz tar xzf hledger-mac-arm64.tar.gz cd hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show a recent .99 version

For Intel macs: cd /usr/local/bin curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/refs/tags/1.42.99/hledger-mac-x64.tar.gz tar xzf hledger-mac-x64.tar.gz cd hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show a recent .99 version

Windows, 64-bit ARM or Intel

In a powershell window (press WINDOWS-R, powershell, ENTER):

1. Make a place to keep installed binaries. You only need to do this once, not for every release: mkdir -force $HOME\bin >$null $ENV:PATH += ";"+$HOME+"\bin" [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)+";"+$HOME+"\bin", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

2. Download and install the release binaries: cd $HOME\bin curl https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/refs/tags/1.42.99/hledger-windows-x64.zip -OutFile hledger-windows-x64.zip Expand-Archive hledger-windows-x64.zip -DestinationPath . -Force cd $HOME hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show refs/tags/1.42.99; if not, check why: where.exe hledger

3. Ensure a default journal file exists, and without a problematic encoding. This will allow you to start hledger-web by double-clicking on its icon if you wish. out-file -append -encoding ascii $HOME/.hledger.journal (I’m not sure why “ascii” is needed here - hledger likes utf8 and understands utf8 BOM headers, but the state of our unicode support on Windows is really unknown, your feedback is welcome.)
