one static binary · no dependencies

Install merido

One command drops the merido binary on your machine. It self-hosts the gateway, the dashboard, and this site from a single port. macOS, Linux, and Windows are all prebuilt — no toolchain required.

macOS & Linux
curl -fsSL https://merido.dev/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

Run this in a PowerShell prompt. It downloads the latest x86_64 build and puts merido.exe on your PATH.

Download a binary directly

Prefer not to pipe a script to your shell? Every release is a self-contained archive at https://merido.dev/dl/<asset>, and the release manifest lives at https://merido.dev/dl/latest.json. Unpack it, then move the merido binary somewhere on your PATH.
