Installation

portable-hexdump supports both GNU and BSD-style make systems for easy installation.

Standard Installation (GNU/Linux)

The GNUmakefile is the default on most Linux distributions.

git clone https://github.com/hackagadget/portable-hexdump.git
cd portable-hexdump
sudo make install

This will install:

  • portable-hexdump to /usr/local/bin
  • portable-hexdump.1 to /usr/local/share/man/man1

BSD Installation (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD)

The BSDmakefile uses the standard BSD bsd.prog.mk infrastructure.

git clone https://github.com/hackagadget/portable-hexdump.git
cd portable-hexdump
sudo make install

Manual Installation

Since portable-hexdump is a single shell script, you can also just download the script and put it in your path:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackagadget/portable-hexdump/main/portable-hexdump
chmod +x portable-hexdump
mv portable-hexdump ~/bin/
