Install · Parity Docs

parity is a single static binary for Linux and macOS (amd64 and arm64) and Windows.

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://parity.ninja/install | sh
parity --version

The script installs to /usr/local/bin when it can write there, otherwise to ~/.local/bin. If that directory isn't on your PATH, it prints the line to add to your shell's startup file; if another parity comes first on your PATH, it says so. Rerun it to update.

Variable	Default
`PARITY_VERSION`	the latest release	Install another version, such as `v0.1.0`.
`PARITY_INSTALL_DIR`	`/usr/local/bin` or `~/.local/bin`	Install somewhere else.

To read the script before running it, open https://parity.ninja/install.

Verification

The script refuses to install a binary whose SHA-256 doesn't match:

The latest release is checked against checksums written into the script itself, which is served from parity.ninja, separately from the binaries.
Any other version is checked against that release's SHA256SUMS, after checking the file's signature against the Parity release key in the script. This needs openssl.

Manual download

Each release is at https://storage.googleapis.com/parity-releases/parity/<version>/:

File
`parity_linux_amd64`, `parity_linux_arm64`	Linux
`parity_darwin_amd64`, `parity_darwin_arm64`	macOS
`parity_windows_amd64.exe`, `parity_windows_arm64.exe`	Windows
`SHA256SUMS`	SHA-256 of each binary
`SHA256SUMS.sig`	ECDSA P-256 signature of `SHA256SUMS`

Download a binary with SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.sig, then check both:

Terminal

curl -fsSLO https://parity.ninja/parity-release.pub
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify parity-release.pub -signature SHA256SUMS.sig SHA256SUMS &&
  sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS &&     # macOS: shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS
  chmod +x parity_linux_amd64 &&
  sudo mv parity_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/parity

On macOS, a binary downloaded with a browser is quarantined; clear it with xattr -d com.apple.quarantine parity_darwin_arm64. Downloads with curl aren't affected.

With cosign (bash or zsh), skip the transparency log, which these signatures aren't in: cosign verify-blob --insecure-ignore-tlog=true --key parity-release.pub --signature <(base64 < SHA256SUMS.sig) SHA256SUMS.
