Installing Maestro

Learn how to install the Maestro framework by following these simple setup steps to get started quickly on macOS, Linux or Windows.

Prerequisites

Maestro requires Java 17 or higher to be installed on your system. You can verify your Java version by running:

java -version

If you don't have Java 17 or higher installed, you can download it from:

• Oracle JDK

• OpenJDK

• Or use a version manager like SDKMAN!

Installing the CLI

Using Windows? Follow this guide to get set up on a Windows machine: Installing Maestro on Windows

Run the following command to install Maestro on macOS, Linux or Windows (WSL):

curl -fsSL "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash

If you're on macOS, you can use Homebrew instead of the install script above:

brew tap mobile-dev-inc/tap
brew install maestro

Upgrading the CLI

Simply run the installation script again:

curl -fsSL "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash

Installing a specific version of Maestro

To install a specific version, export the MAESTRO_VERSION environment variable and run the same installation command as before:

export MAESTRO_VERSION={version}; curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash

See the list of available versions.

Installing a specific version of Maestro in a Dockerfile

Define a variable for the version you want to install:

ENV MAESTRO_VERSION {version}

Then download Maestro and add it to your path:

RUN mkdir -p /opt/maestro && \
wget -q -O /tmp/${MAESTRO_VERSION} "https://github.com/mobile-dev-inc/maestro/releases/download/cli-${MAESTRO_VERSION}/maestro.zip" && \
unzip -q /tmp/${MAESTRO_VERSION} -d /opt/ && \
rm /tmp/${MAESTRO_VERSION}
ENV PATH=/opt/maestro/bin:${PATH}

Connecting to Your Device
