Installation

Quick install

The installer downloads the latest release, verifies the SHA-256 checksum, and installs pb into ~/.local/bin by default.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/pb/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Install somewhere else by setting INSTALL_DIR:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/pb/main/scripts/install.sh | INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/pb/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex"

This installs to %USERPROFILE%\bin and adds that folder to your user PATH. Open a new PowerShell window after installation.

Homebrew

brew install parseablehq/tap/pb

Use the full tap name. brew install pb installs an unrelated Homebrew cask.

Release archive

Download the latest archive for your operating system and architecture from the GitHub releases page, extract it, and move the binary to a directory in your PATH.

tar xzf pb_*.tar.gz
chmod +x pb
sudo mv pb /usr/local/bin/

Windows archives contain pb.exe; extract the .zip and move pb.exe to a folder in your PATH.

Platform	Archive
macOS Apple Silicon	`pb_<version>_darwin_arm64.tar.gz`
macOS Intel	`pb_<version>_darwin_amd64.tar.gz`
Linux x86 64-bit	`pb_<version>_linux_amd64.tar.gz`
Linux ARM 64-bit	`pb_<version>_linux_arm64.tar.gz`
Windows x86 64-bit	`pb_<version>_windows_amd64.zip`
Windows ARM 64-bit	`pb_<version>_windows_arm64.zip`

On macOS, a manually downloaded binary may be blocked on first run. Allow it once with:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/pb

Using Go

If you have Go installed, you can build and install pb from source:

go install github.com/parseablehq/pb@latest

This builds pb from source and places it in your $GOPATH/bin. Make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your PATH.

Verify installation

After installing, confirm that pb is on your PATH:

pb --help

To print version details:

pb version
pb --version

If you get a command not found error, make sure the install directory is included in your PATH.
