Installation

Bible CLI supports Homebrew and single-binary release archives on macOS and Linux.

Homebrew

Install the latest stable release from the project tap:

brew install vmrocha/tap/bible-cli

Homebrew also installs Bash, Zsh, and Fish completions. Use brew upgrade bible-cli to install future stable releases.

Download a release

1. Open the latest release.
2. Download the archive that matches your operating system and architecture.
3. Verify the archive against checksums.txt, then extract it and put bible on your PATH.

See the repository's full installation guide for platform-specific commands, source builds, checksum verification, and build-provenance (SLSA) verification.

Confirm the installation

$ bible version
$ bible read "John 3:16"

Shell completion

Generate completion scripts directly from the installed binary:

bible completion bash
bible completion zsh
bible completion fish
bible completion powershell

The installation guide has setup instructions for each shell.
