Installation

macOS

Install the native Portwarp CLI on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs.

Quick install

The installer detects Intel or Apple Silicon, verifies the release, and installs pwrp in /usr/local/bin.

curl -fsSL https://portwarp.com/download/install.sh | bash

The installer needs curl, tar, and shasum. It may ask for your password when writing to /usr/local/bin.

Manual installation

Download the correct archive and checksums.txt from CLI downloads:

• darwin-arm64 for Apple Silicon Macs.
• darwin-amd64 for Intel Macs.

shasum -a 256 -c checksums.txt
tar -xzf pwrp-VERSION-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
chmod +x pwrp
sudo mv pwrp /usr/local/bin/pwrp

Replace VERSION and the architecture with the values from the downloaded file.

Verify and sign in

pwrp version
pwrp login
pwrp doctor

Start automatically

On macOS, the CLI creates a launch agent for your user. Save the tunnel selection before enabling it:

pwrp connect --all --save --detach
pwrp service enable
pwrp service status

Update or remove

Use pwrp update for normal updates. To remove the CLI:

pwrp service disable
pwrp logout
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pwrp
