Jstime Upgrade

To upgrade JSTime, run jstime upgrade.

It automatically downloads the latest version of JSTime and overwrites the currently-running version.

This works by checking the latest version of JSTime in jstime-releases-for-updater and unzipping it using the system-provided unzip library (so that Gatekeeper works on macOS)

If for any reason you run into issues, you can also use the curl install script:

Terminal window
$ curl https://jstime.dev/install | bash

It will still work when JSTime is already installed.

JSTime is distributed as a single binary file, so you can also do this manually:

  • Download the latest version of JSTime for your platform in jstime-releases-for-updater (darwin == macOS)
  • Unzip the folder
  • Move the jstime binary to ~/.jstime/bin (or anywhere)

Canary builds are generated on every commit.

To install a canary build of JSTime, run:

Terminal window
$ jstime upgrade --canary

This flag is not persistent (though that might change in the future). If you want to always run the canary build of JSTime, set the JSTIME_CANARY environment variable to 1 in your shell’s startup script.

This will download the release zip from https://github.com/awfixers-stuff/jstime/releases/tag/canary.

To revert to the latest published version of JSTime, run:

Terminal window
$ jstime upgrade
