Downloads and installs the opentax CLI binary. Detects OS and architecture automatically.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Install OpenTax CLI

Install the `opentax` CLI binary. This is a single binary with no dependencies.

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filedcom/opentax/main/install.sh | sh
```

## Verify

```bash
opentax version
```

If the install script doesn't work (permissions, corporate firewall, etc.), download the binary manually:

| Platform | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Mac (Apple Silicon) | `curl -fL --progress-bar -o /usr/local/bin/opentax https://github.com/filedcom/opentax/releases/latest/download/opentax-macos-arm64 && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/opentax` |
| Mac (Intel) | `curl -fL --progress-bar -o /usr/local/bin/opentax https://github.com/filedcom/opentax/releases/latest/download/opentax-macos-x64 && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/opentax` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add filedcom/opentax/Install CLI@sha256:1df20046a1ad4361

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260413.8bec593, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
