Binary Download

Download pre-built binaries directly from GitHub Releases. This works on any supported platform without a package manager.

Quick Install Script

The install script auto-detects your platform and downloads the correct binary:

curl -sSL https://get.trident-cache.com/install.sh | sh

Options

Flag Description Default
--prefix DIR Installation directory /usr/local
--version VER Install a specific version (e.g., v1.0.0) latest
--with-service Also install systemd service and default config off

Example with all options:

curl -sSL https://get.trident-cache.com/install.sh | sh -s -- \
  --prefix /opt/trident \
  --version v1.0.0 \
  --with-service

The --with-service flag will:

  • Install the default config to /etc/trident/config.toml (if not already present)
  • Install the systemd unit file
  • Create a trident system user and group
  • Create /var/lib/trident and /var/log/trident directories
