πͺInstall through npm (Recommended)
Holesail is available through npm, which is the recommended way to install and use It currently. All the latest updates, patches, and bug fixes are first applied to the npm package and then to everything else.
Step 1- Install Nodejs
Holesail needs at least Nodejs version 16 >= or above to run. On Linux or Mac, you can use NVM to install Nodejs.
Run the following command to install the Node version manager:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
Add nvm to the environment variable:
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
Close and reopen the terminal to install Nodejs 20:
nvm install 20
nvm use 20
Install Nodejs Windows
You can install Nodejs on Windows by downloading a prebuilt installer from here.
Step 2- Install Holesail through npm
Once you have the latest Node version installed, you can run the following commands to install Holesail.
On Linux:
sudo npm i holesail -g
On Mac:
npm i holesail -g
On Windows, open command prompt and type:
npm i holesail -g
If your installation fails on Windows, try running the command prompt instead of Powershell or Terminal. You can also try enabling third-party script execution by launching Powershell as Administrator and running:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Step 3 - Verify Installation
Run the following command, if it returns an output then holesail is installed on your system:
holesail --help
You are now all set to set sail with holesail.
