Installation

Task guide

Install the stable Glade binary on macOS or Linux, verify its version, then continue inside a Salesforce DX project.

Stable download release: v0.2.15

Before you start

Use a terminal on one of the supported OS and CPU pairs below. Installation does not require a Salesforce DX project or a Salesforce login.

Supported release archives

OS	CPU	Status
macOS	arm64	supported release archive
macOS	amd64	supported release archive
Linux	amd64	supported release archive
Linux	arm64	supported release archive
Windows	amd64/arm64	no native release archive; source builds and WSL are not verified by this walkthrough

Install and verify

curl -fsSL https://glade.sh/install.sh | sh
glade version

The script installs the glade binary, including parser support, to ~/.local/bin. It installs the LWC runtime/toolchain and bundled editor assets under ~/.local/share/glade by default. Set GLADE_INSTALL_DIR and GLADE_HOME to change those destinations. As a historical measurement, a clean v0.2.15 macOS arm64 install used about 229 MB on disk; size varies by release and platform. Expected: glade version prints the installed version. This site's release snapshot is v0.2.15; the live download channel can advance before the site rebuilds. If the shell cannot find glade, repair the current shell with:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
glade version

Add the PATH line to your shell configuration to retain it in new terminals.

Override both destinations or pin a release when needed:

curl -fsSL https://glade.sh/install.sh | env GLADE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin GLADE_HOME="$HOME/.local/share/glade" sh
curl -fsSL https://glade.sh/install.sh | env GLADE_VERSION=vX.Y.Z sh

Replace vX.Y.Z with the exact published release you reviewed. CI examples in this guide pin their tested release directly.

Update

Preview the installer command before allowing self-replacement:

glade update --dry-run
GLADE_UPDATE_ALLOW_SHELL=1 glade update
glade version

glade update updates the directory that contains the current glade binary. The environment guard keeps self-replacement explicit.

Continue in a project

glade doctor is project-aware. Do not use it as the binary installation check. Continue with the first local check, which enters or initializes a Salesforce DX project before running:

glade doctor --project .

Other installation paths

Verify a releasePin the stable manifest, select the archive, verify checksums, SBOM, and attestation.Install the VS Code extensionInstall the bundled extension and open Glade Home.Install in CIPin and verify the binary before noninteractive checks.Build from sourceUse for Glade development or unreleased repository changes.

The security and release trust guide is the canonical manual verification path. Its verification-only helper resolves the version and archive from the same published manifest used by the installer and this page, then checks the archive checksum, release-workflow provenance, and CycloneDX attestation without extracting or running Glade.
