Version: v2.2.1

Install on macOS

Espanso currently support macOS 10.13 or greater on both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. You can install Espanso both as a traditional app bundle or by using Homebrew.

Install as App Bundle

The easiest way to install Espanso is by downloading the appropriate app bundle. Make sure to choose the right version based on your processor.

After you've downloaded the archive, uncompress it and move it into your /Applications folder.

Install using Homebrew

Espanso can also be installed through Homebrew, a popular macOS package manager.

However, because Espanso is hosted outside the core Homebrew repository, and to be sure of downloading the latest version, you may prefer to first add the project tap by running the following command inside a terminal:

brew tap espanso/espanso

Either way, you can then install Espanso by running the following command:

brew install espanso

If the process succeeds, you'll find an Espanso app inside your /Applications folder.

Users coming from version 0.7.3

If you're coming from version 0.7.3 or earlier, you'll need to remove the previous Homebrew tap first with the following command:

brew untap federico-terzi/espanso
