Install on macOS

Install with Homebrew

You can use Homebrew, the macOS package manager, to install Asciidoctor. If you don’t have Homebrew on your computer, complete the installation instructions at brew.sh first.

Once Homebrew is installed, you’re ready to install the asciidoctor gem. Open a terminal and type:

$ brew install asciidoctor

Homebrew installs the asciidoctor gem into an exclusive prefix that’s independent of system gems.

If the gem installed successfully, Asciidoctor’s command line interface (CLI) will be available on your PATH. To confirm that Asciidoctor is available, execute:

$ asciidoctor --version

You should see information about the Asciidoctor version and your Ruby environment printed in the terminal.

Asciidoctor 2.0.12 [https://asciidoctor.org]
Runtime Environment (ruby 2.7.0p0 [x86_64-linux]) (lc:UTF-8 fs:UTF-8 in:- ex:UTF-8)

Upgrade with Homebrew

To upgrade the gem, open a terminal and type:

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade asciidoctor
