Single file download

Download the specific file for your OS and architecture (see below for Windows):

OS Architecture Link
Linux x86_64 (Intel) openaf.io/oaf-linux-x86_64
Linux aarch64 (Arm) openaf.io/oaf-linux-aarch64
Alpine Linux x86_64 (Intel) openaf.io/oaf-alpine-x86_64
Alpine Linux aarch64 (Arm) openaf.io/oaf-alpine-aarch64
Mac x64_64 (Intel) openaf.io/oaf-mac-x86_64
Mac aarch64 (Apple Silicon) openaf.io/oaf-mac-aarch64

After downloading the file, execute:

chmod u+x oaf-*
./oaf-*
# Please use the created symlinks: oaf, ojob, opack, oafc, oafp, oaf-sb or ojob-sb
# ./oafc

This will provide it with execution permissons and, afterwards, simply execute it.

For a more permanent or portable install follow the next instructions.

Windows 

C:\> mkdir oaf
C:\> cd oaf
C:\oaf> curl https://openaf.io/install.bat -o install.bat
C:\oaf> install.bat
C:\oaf> oafc

Linux 

# With sudo
curl https://openaf.io/install.sh | sh
# oafc

# Without sudo
curl https://openaf.io/setup.sh | sh && cd oaf
# ./oafc

# With an existing java JRE/JDK >= 8
curl https://ojob.io/get.sh | sh && cd oaf
# ./oafc

If you don’t have sudo, curl or wget but you do have bash you can just execute the following command or follow these instructions:

# With just bash
/bin/bash -c "exec 3<>/dev/tcp/ojob.io/80 && echo -e \"GET /get.sh HTTP/1.1\nHost: ojob.io\nUser-Agent: curl\nConnection: close\n\n\" >&3 && cat <&3" | sed '1,/connection: close/d' | tail -n +2 | sh -s

Mac OS 

curl -o setup.sh https://openaf.io/setup.sh && sh setup.sh && rm setup.sh && mv oaf /Applications/OpenAF && sudo sh -c "echo "/Applications/OpenAF" > /etc/paths.d/OpenAF"
# oafc
