#getting-started
SilverBullet is distributed as a single server binary available for the following platforms:
- macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) (platform name “darwin”)
- Linux (x86_64 and arm64) (note that this will run on Raspberry Pi as well, but requires a 64-bit Linux distribution)
- Windows (64-bit)
Steps:
- Download the binary for your platform from Github.
- Unzip the file in a convenient place
- Run it from the command line (see below)
You need to create a folder to hold your Space files. This folder can be kept anywhere. You can then run silverbullet taking the folder path as an argument:
mkdir space
# Run SilverBullet on port 3000 (default)
./silverbullet -p3000 space
There are a bunch of Install/Configuration options you can pass as environment variables.
Upgrading
You can upgrade your SilverBullet install based on the version you’d like to run.
To upgrade to the latest stable release:
./silverbullet upgrade
To upgrade to the latest edge release (which keeps in sync with the main development branch):
./silverbullet upgrade-edge
To upgrade your client, be sure to refresh your page twice somewhat slowly.
Version
To check which version of SilverBullet you’re running, run the ${widgets.commandButton("Client: Version")} command.
