Installation

Web Application

The simplest way to use Thrive is by using the web application. If this is the first time you're visiting you'll be prompted to create an account.

By using the web application you will be running in global hosted mode. You can access the web app in self hosted mode too.

Desktop App, Mobile Apps, PWA

You can download the desktop app, mobile apps, or install a PWA for desktop (MacOS) and mobile (iOS and Android) too.

MacOS Dmg Local

For MacOS, a simple way of installing the Thrive CLI is via a dmg archive published together with a release. You can check them in the release page.

You can then download and install it into your Applications folder by dragging and dropping it like any other application.

Invoking this is a bit tricky however:

$ mkdir my-thrive-work-dir # A dir where you manage local Thrive data.
$ cd my-thrive-work-dir
$ /Applications/Thrive.app/Contents/MacOS/thrive init --help

You can of course add an alias to your shell about it.

By using this approach you will be running in local mode.
