Installation

aftctl is available to install from official releases as described below. I recommend that you install aftctl from only the official GitHub releases.

For Mac

To download the latest release, run:

# for ARM systems, set ARCH to: `arm64`
ARCH=x86_64

curl -sLO "https://github.com/edgarsilva948/aftctl/releases/latest/download/aftctl_Darwin_$ARCH.tar.gz"

# (Optional) Verify checksum
curl -sL "https://github.com/edgarsilva948/aftctl/releases/latest/download/checksums.txt" | grep $ARCH | sha256sum --check

tar -xzf aftctl_Darwin_$ARCH.tar.gz -C /tmp && rm aftctl_Darwin_$ARCH.tar.gz

sudo mv /tmp/aftctl /usr/local/bin

For Linux

To download the latest release, run:

# for ARM systems, set ARCH to: `arm64` or `i386`
ARCH=x86_64

curl -sLO "https://github.com/edgarsilva948/aftctl/releases/latest/download/aftctl_Linux_$ARCH.tar.gz"

# (Optional) Verify checksum
curl -sL "https://github.com/edgarsilva948/aftctl/releases/latest/download/checksums.txt" | grep $ARCH | sha256sum --check

tar -xzf aftctl_Linux_$ARCH.tar.gz -C /tmp && rm aftctl_Linux_$ARCH.tar.gz

sudo mv /tmp/aftctl /usr/local/bin

For Windows

Direct download (latest release): x86_64 - ARM64 - i386

Make sure to unzip the archive to a folder in the PATH variable.

Optionally, verify the checksum:

  1. Download the checksum file: latest
  2. Use Command Prompt to manually compare CertUtil's output to the checksum file downloaded. 
    # Replace x86_64 with ARM64 or i386
CertUtil -hashfile aftctl_Windows_x86_64.zip SHA256
  3. Using PowerShell to automate the verification using the -eq operator to get a True or False result: 
    # Replace x86_64 with ARM64 or i386
(Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\aftctl_Windows_x86_64.zip).Hash -eq ((Get-Content .\checksums.txt) -match 'aftctl_Windows_x86_64.zip' -split ' ')[0]
