Installation

# Define installation folder

export INSTALL_DIRECTORY=/usr/bin

# Use local installation

sudo bin/installer install

# Use remote installation

curl --location "https://github.com/timonier/restic/raw/master/bin/installer" | sudo sh -s -- install

Note 1: If you do not define INSTALL_DIRECTORY, installer will use in /usr/local/bin.

Note 2: docker-for-mac users have to configure native NFS server.
