Installation
Several options are available for installation of Arduino Lint. Instructions for each are provided below:
Use the install script¶
The script requires sh, which is always available on Linux and macOS. sh is not available by default on Windows,
though it is available as part of Git for Windows (Git Bash). If you don't have sh
available, use the "Download" installation option.
This script will install the latest version of Arduino Lint to $PWD/bin:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | sh
If you want to target a different directory, for example ~/local/bin, set the BINDIR environment variable like this:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | BINDIR=~/local/bin sh
If you would like to use the arduino-lint command from any location, install Arduino Lint to a directory already in
your PATH or add the Arduino Lint installation path to your PATH
environment variable.
If you want to download a specific Arduino Lint version, for example 0.9.0 or nightly-latest, pass the version
number as a parameter like this:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-lint/main/etc/install.sh | sh -s 0.9.0
Download¶
Pre-built binaries for all the supported platforms are available for download from the links below.
If you would like to use the arduino-lint command from any location, extract the downloaded file to a directory
already in your PATH or add the Arduino Lint installation path to
your PATH environment variable.

Nightly builds¶
These builds are generated every day at 01:00 GMT from the main branch and should be considered unstable. In order to
get the latest nightly build available for the supported platform, use the following links:

Build from source¶
If you're familiar with Golang or if you want to contribute to the project, you will probably build Arduino Lint locally with your Go toolchain. See the "How to contribute" page for instructions.
