# Installation
We provide pre-built binaries on the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases).
## OSX
TODO: brew tap
```
$ brew tap helix-editor/helix
$ brew install helix
```
## Linux
### NixOS
A [flake](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) containing the package is available in
the project root. The flake can also be used to spin up a reproducible development
shell for working on Helix.
### Arch Linux
A binary package is available on AUR as [helix-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/helix-bin/).
## Build from source
```
git clone --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules -j8 https://github.com/helix-editor/helix
cd helix
cargo install --path helix-term
```
This will install the `hx` binary to `$HOME/.cargo/bin`.
Now copy the `runtime/` directory somewhere. Helix will by default look for the
runtime inside the same folder as the executable, but that can be overriden via
the `HELIX_RUNTIME` environment variable.
