Installation

The RenderScreenshot CLI (rs) lets you capture screenshots, generate signed URLs, preview page metadata, and manage your cache directly from the terminal.

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew install render-screenshot/tap/rs

Go Install

If you have Go 1.21+ installed:

go install github.com/Render-Screenshot/rs-cli/cmd/rs@latest

Download Binary

Download pre-built archives from GitHub Releases. Each archive contains the rs binary (rs.exe on Windows). Every release also has a checksums.txt file with the SHA-256 of each archive.

Platform	Architecture	Archive
macOS	Apple Silicon (arm64)	`rs_darwin_arm64.tar.gz`
macOS	Intel (amd64)	`rs_darwin_amd64.tar.gz`
Linux	x86_64	`rs_linux_amd64.tar.gz`
Linux	ARM64	`rs_linux_arm64.tar.gz`
Windows	x86_64	`rs_windows_amd64.zip`
Windows	ARM64	`rs_windows_arm64.zip`

# Example: download, verify and install on Linux (x86_64)
base=https://github.com/Render-Screenshot/rs-cli/releases/latest/download
curl -fsSLO "$base/rs_linux_amd64.tar.gz"
curl -fsSLO "$base/checksums.txt"
grep ' rs_linux_amd64.tar.gz$' checksums.txt | sha256sum -c -
tar -xzf rs_linux_amd64.tar.gz rs
sudo mv rs /usr/local/bin/

On macOS, use shasum -a 256 -c - instead of sha256sum -c -. To pin a version in CI, replace latest/download with download/v0.1.3 (see the CLI in CI guide).
