Install
Download
Grab the current build from the install band on the homepage — it always points at the latest release. Windows ships as a bare executable; Linux and macOS ship as a tar.gz archive:
redrive-{version}-win-x64.exeredrive-{version}-linux-x64.tar.gzredrive-{version}-osx-arm64.tar.gz
A SHA256SUMS.txt is published beside them, so you can verify what you downloaded before you run it.
Windows
Download the .exe and run it. Windows SmartScreen will likely say "Windows protected your PC" — click More info, then Run anyway. Chrome may also flag the file as "not commonly downloaded"; keep it. Once it starts, Redrive opens your browser at http://localhost:5100.
macOS
The reliable path is the terminal:
curl -LO <url> && tar xzf <file> && ./redrive
A binary fetched this way carries no quarantine flag, so it runs right away. If you downloaded it through a browser instead, macOS quarantines it and you'll need to clear that first:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine redrive
Right-click → Open doesn't help here — that workaround only applies to app bundles, not bare binaries.
Linux
curl -LO <url> && tar xzf <file> && ./redrive
Upgrading
Download the new binary and replace the old one. The database migrates forward automatically the first time the new version starts; there's no separate migration step. Downgrading isn't supported — see Deployment for why.
Uninstall
Delete the binary and the data directory. Data directory locations are listed in Configuration.
Reporting a problem
Include the version — redrive --version, or the sidebar in the app — and the log around the time of the error. Logs live in <data-dir>/logs/. Every API error response carries a trace ID, and the same ID shows up in the matching log line, so it's the fastest way to find the right spot.
