Install zrok in Linux

Linux Binary

Linux

Download the binary distribution for your Linux distribution's architecture or run the install script below to pick the correct CPU architecture automatically. For Intel and AMD 64-bit machines use the amd64 distribution. For Raspberry Pi use the arm64 distribution.

Manually install in ~/bin/zrok
  1. Unarchive the distribution in a temporary directory.

    mkdir /tmp/zrok && tar -xf ./zrok*linux*.tar.gz -C /tmp/zrok
  2. Install the zrok executable.

    mkdir -p ~/bin && install /tmp/zrok/zrok ~/bin/
  3. Add ~/bin to your shell's executable search path. Optionally add this to your ~/.zshenv to persist the change.

    PATH=~/bin:$PATH
  4. With the zrok executable in your path, you can then execute the zrok command from your shell:

    zrok version

Script to install binary in /usr/local/bin/zrok

This script auto-selects the correct architecture and may be helpful for Raspberry Pi users.

cd $(mktemp -d);

ZROK_VERSION=$(
curl -sSf https://api.github.com/repos/openziti/zrok/releases/latest \
| jq -r '.tag_name'
);

case $(uname -m) in

;;
aarch64|arm64) GOXARCH=arm64
;;
arm*) GOXARCH=arm
;;
*) echo "ERROR: unknown arch '$(uname -m)'" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac;

curl -sSfL \
"https://github.com/openziti/zrok/releases/download/${ZROK_VERSION}/zrok_${ZROK_VERSION#v}_linux_${GOXARCH}.tar.gz" \
| tar -xz -f -;

sudo install -o root -g root ./zrok /usr/local/bin/;

zrok version;

Install zrok from the Repository

We recommend that you install zrok from the Linux package repository with the manual steps or the setup script. DEB and RPM packages are available for amd64, arm64, and armv7 architectures.

info

Check out zrok frontdoor for running zrok as an always-on service.
