Caution

When copying any commands, please make sure to change [version] to the actual Cranberry version you downloaded.

Precompiled Linux binaries are available since version 0.8.0-alpha, with the file named cranberry-[version]-linux-x64.tar.zst (Zstandard-compressed Tar)

You can simply download the precompiled binary from GitHub Releases and extract it using your preferred program or use the command tar xf cranberry-[version]-linux-x64.tar.zst.

After extracting, a folder named cranberry-[version] will appear. Feel free to move that folder around and place it wherever you like.

export PATH="/path/to/cranberry:$PATH"

For example, If you placed Cranberry at /home/user/cranberry, You would add the following:

export PATH="$HOME/cranberry:$PATH"

Zsh

Replace the /path/to/cranberry with the actual path in the following line and add it to your ~/.zshrc
