ampup is the official version manager and installer for Amp. It provides a simple way to install, manage, and switch between different versions of ampd.

​
What is ampup?

ampup is a Rust-based version manager that helps you:
  • Install and manage multiple versions of ampd
  • Switch between different versions easily
  • Build from source, including from PRs, branches, or local repositories
  • Keep your installation up to date

​
Quick Install

Install ampup with a single command: 
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edgeandnode/amp/refs/heads/main/install.sh | sh
Once installed, you can conveniently manage your ampd versions through ampup.
By default, the installer will automatically install the latest version of ampd and add ampup to your PATH.

​
Directory Structure

ampup organizes all Amp-related files in a single directory (default: ~/.amp): 
~/.amp/
├── bin/
│   ├── ampup            # Version manager binary
│   └── ampd             # Symlink to active version
├── versions/
│   ├── v0.1.0/
│   │   └── ampd         # Binary for v0.1.0
│   └── v0.2.0/
│       └── ampd         # Binary for v0.2.0
└── .version             # Tracks active version

​

ampup supports two installation methods:
  1. Precompiled Binaries (default): Downloads signed binaries from GitHub releases
  2. Build from Source: Clones and compiles the repository using Cargo
