Unstable version

If you want to try out the latest version of HTTPie that hasn't been officially released yet, you can install the development or unstable version directly from the master branch on GitHub. However, keep in mind that the development version is a work in progress and may not be as reliable as the stable version.

You can use the following command to install the development version of HTTPie on Linux, macOS, Windows, or FreeBSD operating systems. With this command, the code present in the master branch is downloaded and installed using pip.

$ python -m pip install --upgrade https://github.com/httpie/cli/archive/master.tar.gz

RUN

There are other ways to install the development version of HTTPie on macOS and Linux.

You can install it using Homebrew by running the following commands:

$ brew uninstall --force httpie
$ brew install --HEAD httpie

You can install it using Snapcraft by running the following commands:

$ snap remove httpie
$ snap install httpie --edge

To verify the installation, you can compare the version identifier on GitHub with the one available on your machine. You can check the version of HTTPie on your machine by using the command http --version.

$ http --version
# 3.X.X.dev0

RUN

Note that on your machine, the version name will have the .dev0 suffix.
