Installation methods¶
Binary installer (Linux/BSDs)¶
Use the binary installer if your package manager is not supported.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://get.static-web-server.net | sh
static-web-server will be installed by default under the /usr/local/bin directory.
Alternatively, you can install a specific version of SWS to a custom location by setting environment variables.
export SWS_INSTALL_VERSION="2.37.0" # full list at https://github.com/static-web-server/static-web-server/tags
export SWS_INSTALL_DIR="~/.local/bin"
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://get.static-web-server.net | sh
Make sure you set the environment variables for the piped process (sh in our case), not the piping process (curl).
If you don't want to export environment variables then use:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://get.static-web-server.net | SWS_INSTALL_DIR="~/.local/bin" sh
