Installation

gplay is a single static Go binary — there is no Node.js, Python, Ruby, or JVM to install. Pick the method for your platform.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew tap tamtom/tap
brew install tamtom/tap/gplay

Install script (macOS / Linux)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tamtom/play-console-cli/main/install.sh | bash

The script detects your OS and architecture, downloads the latest release binary, verifies it, and installs it to your PATH.

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tamtom/play-console-cli/main/install.ps1 | iex

Manual download

Grab a prebuilt binary for macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), Linux (amd64/arm64), or Windows from the GitHub releases page. Each release ships with a checksums.txt for verification.

Verify the install

gplay version

Updating

gplay updates itself in place:

gplay update

It also checks for new versions on startup. Disable that check with GPLAY_NO_UPDATE=1 (useful in CI).

Shell completion

# bash / zsh / fish / powershell
gplay completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_gplay"

Run gplay completion --help for per-shell instructions.

Next step
