Ilya Grigoriev b8d0cf31b8 docs install_and_setup: move Arch Linux after From Source
I am not sure how to order the other entries, but "From Source" seems to
me like the most important one.

Installation and setup

Installation

Download pre-built binaries for a release

There are pre-built binaries of the last released version of jj for Windows, Mac, or Linux (the "musl" version should work on all distributions).

If you'd like to install a prerelease version, you'll need to use one of the options below.

Cargo Binstall

If you use cargo-binstall, you can install the same binaries of the last jj release from GitHub as follows:

# Will put the jj binary for the latest release in ~/.cargo/bin by default
cargo binstall --strategies crate-meta-data jj-cli

Without the --strategies option, you may get equivalent binaries that should be compiled from the same source code.

Linux

From Source

First make sure that you have the libssl-dev, openssl, pkg-config, and build-essential packages installed by running something like this:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev openssl pkg-config build-essential

Now run either:

# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli

or:

# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli

Arch Linux

You can install the jujutsu package from the official extra repository:

pacman -S jujutsu

Or install from the AUR repository with an AUR Helper:

yay -S jujutsu-git

Nix OS

If you're on Nix OS you can install a released version of jj using the nixpkgs jujutsu package.

To install a prerelease version, you can use the flake for this repository. For example, if you want to run jj loaded from the flake, use:

nix run 'github:martinvonz/jj'

You can also add this flake url to your system input flakes. Or you can install the flake to your user profile:

# Installs the prerelease version from the main branch
nix profile install 'github:martinvonz/jj'

Homebrew

If you use linuxbrew, you can run:

# Installs the latest release
brew install jj

Mac

From Source

You may need to run some or all of these:

xcode-select --install
brew install openssl
brew install pkg-config
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl@3/lib/pkgconfig"

Now run either:

# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli

or:

# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli

Homebrew

If you use Homebrew, you can run:

# Installs the latest release
brew install jj

MacPorts

You can also install jj via the MacPorts jujutsu port:

# Installs the latest release
sudo port install jujutsu

Windows

Run either:

# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli --features vendored-openssl

or:

# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli --features vendored-openssl

Initial configuration

You may want to configure your name and email so commits are made in your name.

$ jj config set --user user.name "Martin von Zweigbergk"
$ jj config set --user user.email "martinvonz@google.com"

Zsh

autoload -U compinit
compinit
source <(jj util completion zsh)

Fish
