Installation

Choose the installation method for your operating system, then verify that the wakezilla command is available.

Windows

Open PowerShell and run:

irm https://wakezilla.dev/install.ps1 | iex

The installer supports x64 Windows, requires tar in PowerShell, validates the release against SHA256SUMS, installs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\wakezilla\bin, registers an uninstaller, and adds the directory to your user PATH. Open a new terminal after installation.

Pin a version or choose a different directory:

iex "& { $(irm https://wakezilla.dev/install.ps1) } -Version 0.2.11"
iex "& { $(irm https://wakezilla.dev/install.ps1) } -InstallDir $env:USERPROFILE\bin"

Linux and macOS

Run the installation script:

curl -fsSL https://wakezilla.dev/install.sh | sh

The script detects x86_64 or ARM64 releases for Linux GNU, Linux musl, and macOS. It installs in $HOME/.local/bin, validates SHA256SUMS, and requires curl, jq, tar, and either sha256sum or shasum.

Pin a version or choose another destination:

curl -fsSL https://wakezilla.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- 0.2.11
curl -fsSL https://wakezilla.dev/install.sh | BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh

Homebrew

brew tap guibeira/wakezilla https://github.com/guibeira/wakezilla
brew install wakezilla

Cargo

cargo install wakezilla

Cargo installation builds the command-line application from source. Desktop tray support depends on platform libraries and release features; use the release installer when you want the packaged desktop integration.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/guibeira/wakezilla.git
cd wakezilla
cargo build --release --bin wakezilla

The executable is written to target/release/wakezilla.

Verify the installation

wakezilla --version

If the command is not found, open a new terminal and confirm that the installation directory is included in your PATH.

Update later

Install the latest available release with:

wakezilla update

Install a specific version with wakezilla update --version 0.2.11. See Updates and Uninstall before updating a system-service deployment.

Continue to Quick Start to run the proxy and register a machine. For unattended startup, follow System Services after verifying the foreground flow.
