Availability

Maximum availability for a wide range of users and platforms is our priority.

For this reason, you can download and install SiteOne Crawler on the following platforms:

• Windows (x64) with Intel/AMD CPU
• macOS with Intel (x64) or Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3 (arm64) CPU
• Linux with Intel/AMD (x64) or ARM (arm64) CPU

The tool is now a single native binary rewritten in Rust and intentionally does not require any external dependencies (even on Linux) to make its installation as simple as possible, even for novice users.

It is an open-source project that is free to use. We pay official developer fees to Apple so that our tool is verified and its installation does not indicate an unknown author and potential risk.

Installation methods

Besides the pre-built binaries, the crawler can be installed through standard package managers on most platforms:

• Homebrew (macOS / Linux): brew install janreges/tap/siteone-crawler
• Debian / Ubuntu (apt), Fedora / RHEL (dnf), openSUSE / SLES (zypper), and Alpine Linux (apk)

This makes both installation and updates straightforward using standard methods for each platform.

💡 Further development ideas

We have an officially notarized macOS release from Apple, so installation on macOS proceeds smoothly and without warning. On the first launch, macOS may note by default that you are launching an application downloaded from the Internet.

In the future, we would like to get the tool officially notarized by Microsoft as well, so that installation on Windows can also be done without a notice about an unknown author.
