Install

routeup ships as a single Go binary for macOS and Linux on arm64 and amd64.

Homebrew

terminal

brew install mukul-mehta/tap/routeup

Upgrade later with:

terminal

brew upgrade routeup

curl installer

terminal

curl -fsSL https://get.routeup.dev | sh

The installer downloads the latest GitHub release for your OS and architecture, verifies checksums.txt, and installs routeup into /usr/local/bin when writable or ~/.local/bin otherwise. Override the destination with ROUTEUP_INSTALL_DIR.

Manual release

Download the latest macOS or Linux archive from GitHub:

https://github.com/mukul-mehta/routeup/releases/latest

On macOS, the binary is unsigned. Homebrew and the curl installer run it normally. If you manually download the binary and macOS quarantines it, clear the quarantine bit:

terminal

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./routeup

Platform support

macOS and Linux (arm64 and amd64). Windows is not supported in v1.

Next step

Run setup once:

terminal

routeup setup

For a strictly local setup, enter none at the optional public-server prompt. No server is contacted unless you later expose a route.

If you cannot bind to port 443 (no sudo, restricted environment), run setup with --no-bind instead:

terminal

routeup setup --no-bind --port 8443

This installs and trusts the local CA but skips claiming the privileged port. Routes will be served on port 8443 rather than 443.

Then serve your first local HTTPS route:

terminal

routeup serve example-app --port 8080
