Install DevSpace

DevSpace is a client-only binary. It is super lightweight, does not require any server-side component, and it does not have any dependencies.

npm

npm install -g devspace

yarn

yarn global add devspace

brew

brew install devspace

Mac

# AMD64 / Intel
curl -L -o devspace "https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/releases/latest/download/devspace-darwin-amd64" && sudo install -c -m 0755 devspace /usr/local/bin

# ARM64 / Silicon Mac
curl -L -o devspace "https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/releases/latest/download/devspace-darwin-arm64" && sudo install -c -m 0755 devspace /usr/local/bin

Linux

# AMD64
curl -L -o devspace "https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/releases/latest/download/devspace-linux-amd64" && sudo install -c -m 0755 devspace /usr/local/bin

# ARM64
curl -L -o devspace "https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/releases/latest/download/devspace-linux-arm64" && sudo install -c -m 0755 devspace /usr/local/bin

Windows Powershell

md -Force "$Env:APPDATA\devspace"; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Tls,Tls11,Tls12';
Invoke-WebRequest -URI "https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/releases/latest/download/devspace-windows-amd64.exe" -o $Env:APPDATA\devspace\devspace.exe;
$env:Path += ";" + $Env:APPDATA + "\devspace";
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User);

Check Environment Variable $PATH

Line 4 of this install script adds the install directory %APPDATA%\devspace to the $PATH environment variable. This is only effective for the current powershell session, i.e. when opening a new terminal window, devspace may not be found.

Make sure to add the folder %APPDATA%\devspace to the PATH environment variable after installing DevSpace via Powershell. Afterwards, a reboot might be necessary.

To confirm that DevSpace is successfully installed, reboot and test via:

devspace --version

Alternatively, you can simply download the binary for your platform from the GitHub Releases page and add this binary to your PATH.
