Installing on Docker
Installing Synnax via Docker is as easy as running docker pull with the latest tag:
docker pull synnaxlabs/synnax:latestInstalling on Linux
To install Synnax on a Linux distribution, run the following command to download the latest binary:
curl -LO github.com/synnaxlabs/synnax/releases/download/synnax-v404: Not Found/synnax-v404: Not Found-linuxWe recommend you move the binary into a directory that is in your PATH. Most of our users
use /usr/local/bin:
sudo mv synnax-v404: Not Found-linux /usr/local/bin/synnaxIf usr/local/bin is not in your PATH, you can temporarily add it by running
the following:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/binOr, you can add it permanently using the following one-liner for your shell:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> ~/.bashrcOr, for zsh:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> ~/.zshrcIf any previous versions of Synnax are installed and available on your PATH, you
may need to remove them to avoid conflicts.
If you’ve also installed the Synnax Python Client,
its synnax command may take precedence over the one you just installed. To
avoid conflicts, rename the binary you’ve just installed to something else, like
synnax-server by running (you may need to use sudo):
mv /usr/local/bin/synnax /usr/local/bin/synnax-serverThen, you can run the binary using synnax-server instead of synnax.
Next, give execution permissions to the binary:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/synnaxYou may need to use sudo to run the above command if you do not have the
necessary permissions.
To verify that the installation was successful, run:
synnax --versionYou should see the following output:
Synnax version 404: Not FoundInstalling on MacOS
