title: One-click install type: guide

One-click install

curl | bash (or iwr | iex) and you're done. No Go toolchain, no compile step, no Docker, no package manager required.

Linux / macOS

curl -sSL https://aniongithub.github.io/mind-map/install.sh | bash

Windows

iwr -useb https://aniongithub.github.io/mind-map/install.ps1 | iex

What the script does

graph TD
    A[Run install script] --> B[Detect OS + arch]
    B --> C[Fetch latest release from GitHub]
    C --> D[Download single binary]
    D --> E[Place under ~/.local/bin or %USERPROFILE%\bin]
    E --> F[Verify checksum]

Loading

Specifically:

Step Detail
OS / arch detect uname / $env:OS
Release source Latest tagged release on the GitHub repo
Install path ~/.local/bin/mind-map (Linux/macOS) or %USERPROFILE%\bin\mind-map.exe (Windows)
Verification SHA-256 checksum check before move
PATH Script warns if the install dir isn't on PATH and prints the right export/setx line
Network calls One GitHub API call (release metadata) + one binary download

No root needed. No sudo. Files only go in your home directory. See guides/platforms for the full compatibility matrix.

Verifying manually

If you'd rather not pipe to bash:

curl -sSL -o install.sh https://aniongithub.github.io/mind-map/install.sh
less install.sh    # read it
bash install.sh    # run it

The script is ~150 lines of POSIX sh. The PowerShell variant is similar.

Updating

Re-run the same command. The script fetches the latest release and replaces the binary in place. The wiki at ~/.mind-map/wiki is never touched.

Uninstalling

rm ~/.local/bin/mind-map
rm -rf ~/.mind-map        # wipe wiki + config + index (optional)

That's it. No registry entries, no scattered config files, no daemon to stop (unless you guides/service).
