| Computer | Bundle | Checksum |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Silicon Mac | macOS ARM64 | SHA-256 |
| Intel Mac | macOS x86-64 | SHA-256 |
| Linux ARM64 | Linux ARM64 | SHA-256 |
| Linux x86-64 | Linux x86-64 | SHA-256 |
Verify the checksum, extract the bundle, then run its installer. For Apple Silicon:
shasum -a 256 -c lt-macos-arm64.tar.gz.sha256 &&
install_work=$(mktemp -d) &&
tar -xzf lt-macos-arm64.tar.gz -C "$install_work" &&
bash "$install_work/lt-macos-arm64/install.sh"
On Linux, use sha256sum -c with your bundle’s checksum
file.
Requires macOS 15+ or Linux with glibc 2.36+. Mac builds are not yet signed or notarized; Intel builds are tested under Rosetta.
If lt is not found after installation, follow the PATH
instruction printed by the installer.
