Installation

Lumen installs with a single command. No admin rights on Windows; a lumen command and desktop launcher on Linux and macOS.

Linux & macOS

curl -fsSL https://lumen.raashed.com | bash

That downloads the latest release from GitHub, installs it, and puts lumen on your PATH.

Pin a version:

LUMEN_VERSION=v1.5.0 curl -fsSL https://lumen.raashed.com | bash

Windows

In PowerShell (Windows 10/11, x64):

irm https://lumen.raashed.com/install.ps1 | iex

That installs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Lumen, adds a Start menu shortcut, and lists Lumen in Settings → Apps so you can uninstall it. No admin rights required.

Pin a version:

$env:LUMEN_VERSION = 'v1.5.0'
irm https://lumen.raashed.com/install.ps1 | iex
