Gradle describes their installation in their docs:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/installation.html
However the docs requires using specific version and there is no easy way to say "get the current version".
I would like to do something like:
export GRADLE_VERSION=`curl https://services.gradle.org/current-version`
curl -sSLO https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}-bin.zip \
&& unzip -q -d /opt/gradle gradle-*.zip \
&& echo "PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-${GRADLE_VERSION}/bin" > ~/.bashrc
Obviously there is no such API service like /current-version. How would you achieve this?
I suggest:
curl -s 'https://services.gradle.org/versions/current' | jq -r '.version'
Output:
7.3.1
or
curl -s 'https://services.gradle.org/versions/current' | jq -r '.downloadUrl'
Output:
https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.1-bin.zip

Introduction
Currently, I'm writing a customized GitHub workflow inside it I use a curl and grep command.
GitHub repo
action.yml
- name: get new tag
id: get_new_tag
shell: bash
run: |
temp_result=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/${{inputs.github_repository}}/tags | grep -h "name" | grep -h "${{inputs.selector}}" | head -1 | grep -ho "${{inputs.regex}}")
echo "new-tag=${temp_result}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
Full code here
test for action.yml
uses: ./
with:
files: tests/test1.txt tests/test2.txt
github_repository: MathieuSoysal/file-updater-for-release
prefix: MathieuSoysal/file-updater-for-release#
Full code are is here
Problem
I don't understand why but my GitHub Actions don't work with MacOS.
The given error:
temp_result=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/MathieuSoysal/file-updater-for-release/tags | grep -h "name" | grep -h "" | head -1 | grep -ho "v\?[0-9.]*")
echo "new-tag=${temp_result}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
shell: /bin/bash --noprofile --norc -e -o pipefail {0}
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
Full log error is here
Question
Does someone know how we can fix this issue?
Alternatively, you can simply use the jq command line utility for this which is already installed and available on the GitHub runners. See the preinstalled software.
$ export URL='https://api.github.com/repos/MathieuSoysal/file-updater-for-release/tags'
$ curl -s $URL | jq -r .[0].name
v1.0.3
The issue is from this command grep -h "", this command is not supported on MacOS.
The empty string is not supported, the solution is to add something inside it.
Looking for a simple way to download a .zip from a latest GitHub release.
There are other similar questions, but I havent been able to get them to work. :(
Trying to pull latest release from https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate
Currently ive got:
#!/bin/bash
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/CTCaer/hekate/releases/latest | jq -r ".assets[] | select(.name | test(\"hekate_ctcaer\")) | .browser_download_url"
trying to fetch the url of the latest .zip and only grab the "hekate_ctcaer_X.X.X_Nyx_X.X.X.zip"
I saw someone trying to achieve this with 'Xidel', so im open to trying that if someone knows the syntax to grab a specific file from the GitHub api.
As I understand it (?), the Github API spits out an array for the release 'assets', so im trying to specify an item in this array that matches "hekate_ctcaer", and download the specified file.
Github is also a compatible git repo. I provide a new train of thought.
use git ls-remote to fetch last release tag.
git -c 'versionsort.suffix=-' ls-remote --tags --sort='v:refname' http://github.com/CTCaer/hekate.git
| tail --lines=1
| cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3
Here this examples outputs v5.8.0
then clone remote repo
git clone --branch v5.8.0 http://github.com/CTCaer/hekate.git
zip repos to zipped file.
zip hekate.zip -r hekate/
This will print out the url to the zip file of the latest release:
curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/CTCaer/hekate/tags \
| jq -r '.[0].zipball_url' \
| xargs -I {} curl -sL {} -o latest.zip
I saw someone trying to achieve this with 'Xidel'
I assume you're referring to my answer here. That answer is tagged batch-file, so you first of all have to swop the quotes for bash ("function('string')" --> 'function("string")'). And secondly, you're right. You have to select the appropriate object in the "assets"-array.
$ xidel -s "https://api.github.com/repos/CTCaer/hekate/releases/latest" \
-f '$json/(assets)()[starts-with(name,"hekate_ctcaer")]/browser_download_url' \
--download '{substring-after($headers[starts-with(.,"Content-Disposition")],"filename=")}'
This downloads 'hekate_ctcaer_5.8.0_Nyx_1.3.0.zip' in the current dir.
With r8389 or newer you can just use --download ..
also how would I modify this for the following: github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/1.3.2 the .zip AND the .bin
Strictly speaking you'd have to raise a new question for this, but ok.
It appears that (at the moment) v1.3.2 is also the latest release for this repo, so you can use...
$ xidel -s "https://api.github.com/repos/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest" \
-e '$json'
or alternatively...
$ xidel -s "https://api.github.com/repos/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases" \
-e '$json()[tag_name="1.3.2"]'
The "assets"-array here has just 2 objects; one with the zip-file and one with the bin-file, so just "follow" (--follow / -f) the 2 "browser_download_url"-keys to download:
$ xidel -s "https://api.github.com/repos/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases" \
-f '$json()[tag_name="1.3.2"]//browser_download_url' \
--download .
I want to download the two (.bin and .zip) binaries from the latest releases.
I tried using the following command
curl -s https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url.*zip" | cut -d : -f 2,3 | tr -d "\" | wget -qi -
but nothing happens, output being SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc
I'm open to using any other (wget, ecurl etc) commands.
Is it trying to extract the download link from the HTML page? That's error prone and may break any time.
For such operations, check if they offer an API first.
They do: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/releases#get-the-latest-release
You could write something like (pseudo code):
curl \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
https://api.github.com/repos/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest \
| jq .assets[0].browser_download_url \
| xargs wget -qi -
Like suggested in the comments, test each command (pipe separated) individually.
You can use the GitHub CLI, specifically the release download command:
gh release download --repo Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere --pattern '*.bin'
gh release download --repo Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere --archive zip
Without specifying a release tag, the command defaults to the latest release.
Just running curl on the url gives this:
curl https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest
<html><body>You are being redirected.</body>
So, you easily see something is amiss straight off. Checking the curl help, you find options, command below to pinpoint what you need:
curl --help | grep redirect
-L, --location Follow redirects
--max-redirs <num> Maximum number of redirects allowed
--proto-redir <protocols> Enable/disable PROTOCOLS on redirect
--stderr Where to redirect stderr
First clue is redirect in the response and then we see in the help section that there is a flag to handle that.
Running it with th -L command gives the expected output. Pipeing it to grep "browser_download_url.*zip" however gives you nothing. You then investigate to see what the right match would be. But let's try mathing just html link with zip, just to see what happens.
curl -sL https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest | grep "href=.*zip"
<a href="/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/download/1.2.6/atmosphere-1.2.6-master-173d5c2d3+hbl-2.4.1+hbmenu-3.5.0.zip" rel="nofollow" data-skip-pjax>
<a href="/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/archive/refs/tags/1.2.6.zip" rel="nofollow" data-skip-pjax>
From there you can probably find what you are after to construct your command. As you see, links are relative with this method, so you still have to provide the base url to wget (or a curl equivalent) to finally be able to dowload what you are after.
This is more a reply to get you going on trouble shooting. You already have other answers to actually do what you want. But if you can't install the tools suggested, you could probably do something like this:
curl -sL https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/latest |
awk '/releases\/download/ && done != 1 {
sub(/.*href="/, "https://github.com")
sub(/".*/, "")
print
done = 1
}' |
xargs curl -LsO
Not suggesting this is a good way, just a way.
I use the following to install the most recent docker compose for my ubuntu server:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
How to do I make this more version agnostic. For instance, so that I do not have to go in and keep changing the version -which in this case is 1.21.2. How do I change the command so it gets the most latest stable release?
How do I change the command so it gets the most latest stable release?
You could try following:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | awk -F / '{print $NF}'`/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
This is same as your script only replacing actual version (1.21.2 in your case) with latest tag over several steps:
First we get redirection url for latest stable:
curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest
currently it resolves to https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/1.21.2
Then we get version tag out of redirection url:
| awk -F / '{print $NF}'
currently resolving to 1.21.2
Finally we execute it in place of version number using your original curl statement. Note that this can break if latest tag is not properly redirected and ads some extra complexity, but automates version pulling as requested.
Accepted answer isn't the latest stable version according to https://docs.docker.com/compose/release-notes/ (returns v2 instead of the latest v1 which I was looking for)
This is the monstrosity I went with
rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && version=$(curl -s https://docs.docker.com/compose/release-notes/ | grep "Docker Compose release notes" | grep "Estimated reading time" | sed 's/.*id=//g' | sed 's/<.*$//g' | sed 's/.*>//g') && curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${version}/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Is there a shell command to get the latest stable helm release .
For kubernetes we have something like this
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
Try:
wget -qO- https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/releases | sed -n '/Latest release<\/a>/,$p' | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' |head -1
Result:
v2.8.2
And, for those without wget:
HVER=$(curl -sSL https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/releases | sed -n '/Latest release<\/a>/,$p' | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | head -1)
echo $HVER
Result (currently):
v2.9.1
To download the gz that contains the latest Helm executable:
Linux
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-${HVER}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
OSX
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-${HVER}-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
Windows (bash ell)
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-${HVER}-windows-amd64.tar.gz
if in-case you use Dockerfile & Linux
RUN wget "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-$(wget -qO- https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/releases | sed -n '/Latest release<\/a>/,$p' | grep -oE 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' |head -1)-linux-amd64.tar.gz"
For Linux, OSX, and Windows targets:
HELM_INSTALL_DIR=[‘desired path’]
USE_SUDO=[‘true’|’false’]
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash
Other install options: Helm Install Documentation
Recommend migration away from V2.x as soon as you can.
The way I do it for v2:
curl -L0 "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v${HELM_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz" | tar xzO linux-amd64/helm > /usr/local/bin/helm
And for v3:
curl -L0 "https://get.helm.sh/helm-v${HELM_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz" | tar xzO linux-amd64/helm > /usr/local/bin/helm
Do not forget to chmod +x /usr/local/bin/helm afterwards.
