go install github.com/essentialkaos/lj@latest

Prebuilt binaries

You can download prebuilt binaries for Linux and macOS from EK Apps Repository:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://apps.kaos.st/get) lj

Upgrading

Since version 0.3.0 you can update lj to the latest release using self-update feature:

lj --update

This command will runs a self-update in interactive mode. If you want to run a quiet update (no output), use the following command:

lj --update=quiet

lj --completion=bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/lj > /dev/null

Fish:

lj --completion=fish | sudo tee /usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/lj.fish > /dev/null
