Installation

PairStair can be installed in several ways. Choose the method that works best for your environment.

Prerequisites

PairStair requires Go version 1.18 or later if building from source.

The easiest way to install PairStair on macOS or Linux:

brew install gypsydave5/pairstair/pairstair

This will install the latest stable version and keep it updated with brew upgrade.

Go Install

If you have Go installed, you can install directly:

go install github.com/gypsydave5/pairstair@latest

This will install the pairstair binary in your $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin. Make sure this directory is in your PATH.

Download Binary

Download pre-built binaries from the GitHub Releases page:

  • Linux: pairstair-linux-amd64 or pairstair-linux-arm64
  • macOS: pairstair-darwin-amd64 or pairstair-darwin-arm64
  • Windows: pairstair-windows-amd64

After downloading:

  1. Rename the binary to pairstair (or pairstair.exe on Windows)
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x pairstair
  3. Move it to a directory in your PATH

Build from Source

Clone and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/gypsydave5/pairstair.git
cd pairstair
go build

This creates a pairstair binary in the current directory.
