It has made it easy to install software and keep it up to date. However, it has been around for 15+ years and while it has evolved over time, its core technology really hasn't changed, and 15+ years is an eternity in the tech world. Languages like Go and Rust have made it easy to compile binaries and distribute them without complicated installers or dependencies. I love homebrew , but I think there's room for another tool. dist illery is a tool that is designed to make it easy to install binaries on your system from multiple different sources. It is designed to be straightforward and simple to use. It is NOT designed to be a package manager or handle complex dependencies, that's where homebrew shines. The goal of this project is to install binaries by leveraging the collective power of all the developers out there. It is now 2026 and more and more developers are using tools like goreleaser and cargo-dist and many others to pre-compile their software and put their binaries up on GitHub, GitLab, or Codeberg. Tools like goreleaser are expanding to support other languages as well. Let's take advantage of that and make it easy to install those binaries on your system.
