How to install eza

Eza is a modern replacement for the classic ls command with colour and icon support. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Eza is modern replacement for the classic ls command with colour and icon support. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

How releases reach a machine

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Check compatibility first

It is worth checking which platforms the current release targets. Support windows differ, and the newest version is not always the one that fits an older machine.

Once it is in place

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
