Installation

Managed Installers

brew install foks

The Homebrew package is signed by the FOKS developers, allowing keychain access without repeated password prompts.

curl -fsSL https://pkgs.foks.pub/install.sh | sh

This registers the FOKS apt repository. Subsequent updates use the normal package manager:

sudo apt-get install foks

curl -fsSL https://pkgs.foks.pub/install.sh | sh

This registers the FOKS dnf repository. Subsequent updates:

sudo dnf install foks

yay -Sy go-foks

winget install foks

For systems without a supported package manager:

curl -fsSL https://pkgs.foks.pub/install-static.sh | sh

Static binaries do not auto-update.

Requires Go 1.23+ with CGO enabled (for SQLite).

go install github.com/foks-proj/go-foks/client/foks@latest
(cd $(dirname $(which foks)) && ln -s foks git-remote-foks)
foks ctl start

The symlink makes foks available as a Git remote helper under the name git-remote-foks.
