Install dopogoto terminal music player from github.com/dangerous-person/dopogoto-terminal-player

macOS

1. Open Terminal.
2. Paste this command and press Enter:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dangerous-person/dopogoto-terminal-player/main/install.sh | sh

3. If prompted, type your Mac password to allow install to /usr/local/bin.
   (No characters appear while typing. This is normal.)
4. Start the app:

dopogoto

If Terminal says command not found, close Terminal, reopen it, and try dopogoto again.

macOS (manual install, if the command above doesn't work)

1. Go to Releases and download the latest macOS file: dopogoto_*_darwin_universal.tar.gz (darwin means macOS, universal means it works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs).
2. Open Downloads in Finder and double-click the .tar.gz file. This creates a folder like dopogoto_0.1.8_darwin_universal containing the dopogoto app.
3. Open Terminal and run:

sudo mv ~/Downloads/dopogoto_*_darwin_universal/dopogoto /usr/local/bin/dopogoto
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dopogoto
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/dopogoto 2>/dev/null || true
dopogoto

Keep * exactly as shown — it automatically matches the version folder name.

If you have multiple dopogoto_*_darwin_universal folders in Downloads, use the newest one, for example:

sudo mv ~/Downloads/dopogoto_0.1.8_darwin_universal/dopogoto /usr/local/bin/dopogoto

Windows

1. Download dopogoto_*_windows_amd64.zip from Releases
2. Extract, and run dopogoto.exe.

Linux

1. Download dopogoto_*_linux_amd64.tar.gz from Releases
2. Extract and install:

tar xzf dopogoto_*_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv dopogoto /usr/local/bin/dopogoto
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dopogoto

3. Install ALSA if you don't have it (required for audio):

   • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libasound2-dev
   • Fedora: sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel
   • Arch: sudo pacman -S alsa-lib

4. Run dopogoto

Or use the one-liner:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dangerous-person/dopogoto-terminal-player/main/install.sh | sh

Build from source

Requires Go 1.25+ (Linux also needs ALSA headers, see Requirements):

Requirements

• A 256-color terminal (Ghostty, Terminal.app, iTerm2, Windows Terminal, etc.)

Updating

macOS

2. Open Terminal (Command+Space, type Terminal, press Enter).
3. Paste this command and press Enter (you can run it from any folder):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dangerous-person/dopogoto-terminal-player/main/install.sh | sh

4. If prompted, type your Mac password and press Enter. No characters appear while typing — that's normal.
5. Then type dopogoto and press Enter.

Windows

1. Close dopogoto.
2. Delete your old dopogoto.exe file.
3. Go to Releases and download the latest dopogoto_*_windows_amd64.zip.
4. Extract the ZIP and run the new dopogoto.exe.

Linux

Quit dopogoto, then run:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dangerous-person/dopogoto-terminal-player/main/install.sh | sh

Then run dopogoto again.

If the version still looks old

Check your version:

dopogoto --version

On macOS / Linux, check if you have duplicate copies:

which -a dopogoto

If more than one path appears, delete the old one and restart your terminal.
