Here you can find unreleased test binaries, which are updated occasionally. By using these and providing feedback, you can help to make the next release better.

These binaries have the following changes since the 1.51.1 release: https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/compare/1.51.1…testbin

Install

All platforms

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

eget simonmichael/hledger --pre-release --all

Otherwise:

GNU/Linux, 64-bit Intel

At the command line:

cd /usr/local/bin
curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/testbin/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/testbin/hledger-mac-arm64.tar.gz tar xzf hledger-mac-arm64.tar.gz cd hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show a .99 version with the testbin release's date

For Intel macs: cd /usr/local/bin curl -fLOC- https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/releases/download/testbin/hledger-mac-x64.tar.gz tar xzf hledger-mac-x64.tar.gz cd hledger --version; hledger-ui --version; hledger-web --version # should show a .99 version with the testbin release's date

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/testbin/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 a .99 version with the testbin release's date; if not: where.exe hledger

3. Ensure a default journal file exists, and without a problematic encoding (I’m not sure if/why “ascii” was needed here). 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
