Installation - Localport

Localport is a single binary with zero dependencies. No runtime, no Docker, no package managers required. Download it and run it.

Install Recommended#

Run the command that corresponds to your operating system:

Install via Homebrew:

brew install localport/tap/localport

Or use the install script:

curl -fsSL https://localport.io/install.sh | sh

Install with the install script:

curl -fsSL https://localport.io/install.sh | sh

This detects your CPU architecture, downloads the correct binary, and places it in /usr/local/bin.

Install with the install script (PowerShell):

irm https://localport.io/install.ps1 | iex

This downloads the correct binary, verifies its checksum, installs it under

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\localport, and adds it to your user PATH.

Download the latest build for your platform from GitHub:

Verify your download with checksums.txt.

Make it executable, clear the Gatekeeper quarantine flag macOS adds to downloads, then move it onto your PATH:

chmod +x localport-darwin-*
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine localport-darwin-*
sudo mv localport-darwin-* /usr/local/bin/localport

Verify your download with checksums.txt.

chmod +x localport-*
sudo mv localport-* /usr/local/bin/localport

Verify your download with checksums.txt.

Rename it and clear the download block Windows adds to new files:

Rename-Item localport-windows-amd64.exe localport.exe
Unblock-File localport.exe

Then move localport.exe to a folder in your PATH, or add its location to your PATH environment variable.

localport --version

You should see the version number. If you get "command not found," make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.
