The installer currently supports Apple Silicon macOS and x86-64 glibc Linux.
Intel macOS, ARM64 Linux, Windows, and musl Linux are not yet supported.
What it installs
The installer sets up the Tapedrive CLI, storage node, gateway, Git remote helper, andtape-install release manager.
From there, you can run Tapedrive on your computer or hardware you control, or connect
to Tapenet, the public network.
After installation
Open a new terminal or follow the installer’s PATH instructions, then verify the CLI:- Tapenet: set up your wallet and get test funds, then return to the CLI quickstart or static-site hosting.
- Locally, for your own data: the local setup isn’t released yet. Run Tapedrive locally covers what is coming and how to get early access.
- A Tapenet node: follow node setup. This path requires stake. Installing the binaries does not configure or start a node or gateway.
Update or remove the tools
Re-run the bootstrap or usetape-install update to update the complete
toolchain atomically. tape-install list shows installed releases,
tape-install use <version> selects one, and tape-install uninstall removes
installer-owned releases while leaving keys and operational data under
~/.tape untouched.
