How to install sops

Sops is developer utility. The codebase is maintained by its own authors rather than by a vendor.

About the project

Sops is developer utility. 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 projects are distributed

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

Platform requirements

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Once it is in place

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.

A note about this domain

Nothing is published from this domain beyond text. Projects stay where their maintainers put them.
