Quick Test CLI is distributed as a single binary executable with no external dependencies. Choose your installation method based on your operating system and preferences.

​
Quick installation

Install using the automated shell script:
curl -fsSL https://luchobazz.github.io/quicktest/install/install.sh | sh
After installation, reload your shell configuration:
source ~/.bashrc
# Or if you use zsh
source ~/.zshrc
The installer requires unzip to be installed. See Known Issues if you encounter errors.

​
Install with Cargo

If you have Rust and Cargo already installed on your system, you can install Quick Test CLI directly from crates.io: 
cargo install quicktest
This method works on all platforms (Linux, Windows, and macOS).

​
Install Rust and Quick Test CLI together

If you don’t have Rust installed, you can install both Rust and Quick Test CLI with a single command: 
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh && cargo install quicktest

​
Verify installation

After installation, verify that Quick Test CLI is properly installed: 
quicktest --version
You can also use the shorter alias: 
qt --version
Both commands should display the installed version number.

​
Updating

To update Quick Test CLI to the latest version:
Re-run the installation script for your platform. It will automatically download and install the latest version:
Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://luchobazz.github.io/quicktest/install/install.sh | sh
Windows
iwr https://luchobazz.github.io/quicktest/install/install.ps1 -useb | iex

​
Known issues

​
unzip is required

The shell installer requires the unzip utility to extract the downloaded archive. Error message: 
$ curl -fsSL https://luchobazz.github.io/quicktest/install/install.sh | sh
Error: unzip is required to install Quick Test CLI
Solution: Install unzip using your package manager: 
sudo apt-get install unzip -y

​
Troubleshooting

If you receive a “command not found” error after installation:
  1. Close and reopen your terminal
  2. Reload your shell configuration: 
    source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc for zsh users
  3. Verify the binary is in your PATH: 
    which quicktest
If the issue persists, the installation directory may not be in your PATH. Add it manually to your shell configuration file.
On Linux/macOS, if you encounter permission errors:
  1. Ensure the binary has execute permissions: 
    chmod +x $(which quicktest)
  2. If installing to a system directory, you may need sudo privileges
If cargo install quicktest fails:
  1. Update Rust to the latest version: 
    rustup update
  2. Ensure you have the necessary build tools installed:
    • Linux: build-essential package
    • Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools or MinGW
    • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
