Orchard for macOS

Orchard 3.1.0 runs on macOS 12 and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. The installer is the simplest path. Homebrew and the install script are good if you live in the terminal.

Download Orchard 3.1.0 for macOS (.pkg)

Install with the installer

  • Download the universal .pkg above. It works on Apple Silicon and Intel.
  • Open it and follow the steps. It places the orch command in /usr/local/bin.
  • Open a new terminal and run orch --version to check it worked.

Install with Homebrew

If you use Homebrew, tap and install in one step.

$brew install artemis-inc/orchard/orchard

Upgrade later with brew upgrade orchard.

Install with the script

The script detects your chip, downloads the right build, and installs it to ~/.orchard/bin.

$curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Artemis-Inc/Orchard/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Install manually

Prefer to do it yourself? Download an archive and unpack it.

$tar -xzf orch-3.1.0-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz && sudo mv orch /usr/local/bin/

Verify your download

Every release ships a SHA256SUMS file. Check a download against it before you run it.

$shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
First launch. These builds are not yet code signed, so Gatekeeper may block the first run. Either right click and choose Open, or clear the quarantine flag once: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/orch. Signed builds are coming.

Update and uninstall

  • Update with Homebrew (brew upgrade orchard) or by re-running the installer or script.
  • Uninstall by deleting /usr/local/bin/orch, or with brew uninstall orchard.
