Installation

Requirements​

  • macOS 13+
  • Swift 6.0+ (only for building from source)

Homebrew​

brew tap keremerkan/tap
brew install ascelerate

The tap provides a pre-built binary for Apple Silicon Macs, so installation is instant.

Install script​

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keremerkan/ascelerate/main/install.sh | bash

Downloads the latest release, installs to /usr/local/bin, and removes the quarantine attribute automatically. Apple Silicon only.

Download manually​

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases:

curl -L https://github.com/keremerkan/ascelerate/releases/latest/download/ascelerate-macos-arm64.tar.gz -o ascelerate.tar.gz
tar xzf ascelerate.tar.gz
mv ascelerate /usr/local/bin/

Since the binary is not signed or notarized, macOS will quarantine it on first download. Remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/ascelerate
note

Pre-built binaries are provided for Apple Silicon (arm64) only. Intel Mac users should build from source.

Build from source​

git clone https://github.com/keremerkan/ascelerate.git
cd ascelerate
swift build -c release
strip .build/release/ascelerate
cp .build/release/ascelerate /usr/local/bin/
note

The release build takes a few minutes because the asc-swift dependency includes ~2500 generated source files covering the entire App Store Connect API surface. strip removes debug symbols, reducing the binary from ~175 MB to ~59 MB.

Shell completions​

Set up tab completion for subcommands, options, and flags (supports zsh and bash):

ascelerate install-completions

This detects your shell and configures everything automatically. Restart your shell or open a new tab to activate.

AI coding skill (optional)​

If you use an AI coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot, you can install a skill file that gives it full knowledge of all ascelerate commands and workflows:

ascelerate install-skill    # Claude Code
npx ascelerate-skill        # Any AI coding agent

See the AI Coding Skill guide for details.

Check your version​

ascelerate version     # Prints version number
ascelerate --version   # Same as above
ascelerate -v          # Same as above
