Installation

The production installer drops testrelic (plus the tr and ask-ai shortcuts) into ~/.testrelic/bin, owns the command name, and adds it to your PATH. Supported targets: Linux x86_64/arm64, macOS arm64/x86_64, and Windows x86_64.

Auto-update is on by default — the CLI keeps itself current, so a one-time install stays up to date. Pin a specific release with TESTRELIC_VERSION (see below) if you'd rather control upgrades yourself.

Linux / macOS

curl -fsSL https://testrelic.ai/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://testrelic.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Verify

testrelic --version
testrelic doctor       # auth / MCP / terminal diagnostics

Installer environment variables

Variable	Default	Meaning
TESTRELIC_VERSION	latest	Pin a release tag, e.g. v0.2.0.
TESTRELIC_INSTALL_DIR	~/.testrelic/bin	Install location.
TESTRELIC_DL_BASE	TestRelic releases bucket	Download host, for mirrors or air-gapped installs.
TESTRELIC_DRY_RUN	unset	Set to 1 to print what would happen and exit.

For example, to pin a version:

TESTRELIC_VERSION=v0.2.0 curl -fsSL https://testrelic.ai/install.sh | sh

The tr shortcut on Unix

On Unix shells the tr shortcut shadows coreutils tr when the install directory precedes the system PATH. Use the full testrelic name if that matters to you.
