Installation

Portable

Buckaroo is shipped as a self-contained executable, so all you need to do is download the bundle from the releases page.

Linux

$ wget https://github.com/LoopPerfect/buckaroo/releases/download/v2.0.0/buckaroo-linux -O buckaroo
$ chmod +x ./buckaroo
$ ./buckaroo

macOS

$ wget https://github.com/LoopPerfect/buckaroo/releases/download/v2.0.0/buckaroo-macos -O buckaroo
$ chmod +x ./buckaroo
$ ./buckaroo

Windows

Download buckaroo.exe from the release page

This can also be done directly using PowerShell:

wget https://github.com/LoopPerfect/buckaroo/releases/download/v2.0.0/buckaroo-windows.exe >buckaroo.exe
./buckaroo.exe

Telemetry

Buckaroo contains telemetry so that we know how many users we have for each platform. We generate a random UUID on first launch, and no personal information is sent. Please refer to the source-code or open an issue if you are unsure.

To completely disable this, just set the BUCKAROO_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT environment variable to any value:

export BUCKAROO_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=1

Buck

Buckaroo uses Buck as a packaging format and build system, so you will also need to install that.

You can install Buck in a number of ways, so here is an overview of the options to help you decide:

  • Linux
  • macOS
    • Homebrew (use this tap)
    • Portable (maintained by us, see below)
  • Windows

Comprehensive instructions are provided by Facebook.
