# Getting started

### Automatic Installation

If you are on OS X or Linux, you can use the automated downloader, which will fetch the latest release version for you and install it:

```bash
curl -sL https://static.specifyapp.com/cli/install.sh | sh
```

To install a specific version, use the flag `VERSION`:

```shell
curl -sL https://static.specifyapp.com/cli/install.sh | VERSION="x.y.z" sh
```

### Installation via JS ecosystem
