# Install Tapedrive

Install the early-access Tapedrive release:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://tape.network/install.sh | sh
```

<Note>
  The installer currently supports Apple Silicon macOS and x86-64 glibc Linux.
  Intel macOS, ARM64 Linux, Windows, and musl Linux are not yet supported.
</Note>

## What it installs

The installer sets up the Tapedrive CLI, storage node, gateway, Git remote
helper, and `tape-install` release manager.

From there, you can run Tapedrive on your computer or hardware you control, or connect
to [Tapenet](/tapenet), the public network.

## After installation

Open a new terminal or follow the installer's PATH instructions, then verify the CLI:

```bash theme={null}
tape --version
```

Next steps:

* **Tapenet:** [set up your wallet and get test funds](/tapenet/access), then
  return to the [CLI quickstart](/tools/cli) or [static-site hosting](/tools/hosting).
* **Locally, for your own data:** the local setup isn't released yet.
  [Run Tapedrive locally](/tapenet/local) covers what is coming and how to get early
  access.
* **A Tapenet node:** follow [node setup](/protocol/node-setup). This path requires stake.
  Installing the binaries does not configure or start a node or gateway.

Other interfaces have their own guides: [Git](/tools/git),
[S3](/tools/s3-gateway), and [SDKs](/sdks).

## Update or remove the tools

Re-run the bootstrap or use `tape-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.
