Install the CLI¶
Forge ships as a single CLI, aegis, which includes the map commands for onboarding and deploying. You install it once on your Mac.
One line¶
The script resolves the latest signed build, downloads the macOS package and its checksum, verifies the checksum and the code signature, checks notarization with Gatekeeper, and then installs. If any check fails it stops before touching your system. When it finishes:
Reading the installer before you run it¶
Piping a script into a shell deserves a look first. You can read exactly what will run:
The script does no magic: resolve release → download .pkg + SHA256SUMS → verify checksum, pkgutil --check-signature, spctl, and xcrun stapler validate → sudo installer. It installs nothing if the signature or checksum doesn't match.
If the install is paused¶
During preview, releases are sometimes paused. If that's the case the script tells you so and exits cleanly instead of installing a stale build. Try again later, or ask in your onboarding channel.
What it installs¶
