How to install
We currently support multiple ways for installing Rnp.
The latest release of Rnp can be found here: https://github.com/r12f/rnp/releases.
Rnp has almost no external dll/lib dependencies other than C runtime, so we can simply download the binary package and unpack it to use.
If you prefer to install via package managements, we current support the following package managements:
Chocolatey is one of the most popular package management for installing softwares on windows, if not the most. But it doesn’t come with windows and needs to be installed. If you like to use it to manage your softwares, please follow their installation instructions to install it first.
Once it is done, we can run the following command to install Rnp:
choco install rnp-cliReleasing to chocolatey might get delayed due to moderation (Not complain here, they are doing really good job!). If you trust us and like to always get the latest released build, you could add our release feed to your chocolatey source to download the new version.
choco source add -n=rnp-choco -s="https://riff.pkgs.visualstudio.com/rnp/_packaging/rnp-choco/nuget/v2"Then we can use the exact same command to install it:
choco install rnp-cli
Winget is another package management which is created and managed by Microsoft. Although it sounds official, but it also needs to be installed. Winget can be installed via windows store or downloading their msix package from their github releases. For detailed instructions, please follow their doc here: Installing the client.
There is an undocumented way to install winget, if you prefer to use script (powershell):
iwr https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.0.11692/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -OutFile Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
Add-AppxPackage .\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundleOnce it is done, we can run the following command to install Rnp:
winget install rnp
Before using apt to install Rnp, we need to add our deb source list first.
echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.r12f.com/apt/ /" > ~/r12f.list
sudo mv ~/r12f.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/r12f.listThen we can start update the apt package cache and install the latest version:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install rnpIf you prefer apt-get, it also works:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rnp
If you have rust installed on your machine, you can also install directly by getting the crate and compile by yourself.
cargo install rnp
