Installing Deployd #

Mac #

Download the latest OSX installer.

If everything installed correctly you should be able to open a terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and type the following:

dpd -V

If you see something like 0.6.8 then Deployd has been successfully installed.

Troubleshooting #

"command not found" #

The terminal is not able to find the dpd program. There are a couple things you can try:

  • restart the terminal app or open a new tab
  • add /usr/local/deployd/bin to your PATH (instructions)

Windows #

Download the latest Windows installer.

To verify that Deployd installed correctly, open a command prompt (Windows-R, cmd) and type dpd -V. You should see a version number such as 0.6.8.

Troubleshooting #

"'dpd' is not recognized as an internal or external command" #

Windows is unable to find the dpd command line tool. There are a couple of things you can try:

  • restart the command line or open a new cmd window
  • Add the Deployd path to your PATH variable (instructions)
    • For 64-bit systems, use the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Deployd\bin
    • For 32-bit systems, use the path C:\Program Files\Deployd\bin.
