Install

Skipprd is the self-hosted ELT engine. After install you run skipprd discover, skipprd schema, and skipprd sync against a skippr.yml.

Prerequisites

• macOS arm64 or Linux x86_64
• Network access to the source, the destination, and install.skippr.io (runtime plugins)
• Destination credentials in the environment (warehouse, object store, or database)

Installing Skipprd means accepting the Skipprd EULA.

Homebrew

brew tap skipprd/tap
brew install skipprd
skipprd --version

Install script

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skipprd/skipprd/main/install.sh | sh
skipprd --version

The script installs skipprd to /usr/local/bin by default. Override the directory when you do not have root:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skipprd/skipprd/main/install.sh | SKIPPR_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" sh

Pin a release with SKIPPR_VERSION:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skipprd/skipprd/main/install.sh | SKIPPR_VERSION=v6.10.0 sh

Runtime plugins

Skipprd does not ship connector binaries beside the engine.

• discover and sync resolve source, sink, and schema plugins from the published manifest index
• artifacts download from install.skippr.io and cache under ~/.skippr/runtime_plugins
• set SKIPPR_RUNTIME_PLUGIN_DIR to change the cache
• a connector config may pin version: per plugin

Next

• Snowflake
• PostgreSQL
• BigQuery
• S3 to Athena

Troubleshooting

• unsupported SKIPPR_BINARY — this installer only installs skipprd.
• macOS x86_64 / Linux arm64 — those release assets are not published yet. Use arm64 macOS or x86_64 Linux.
• Windows — Skipprd release archives are not published for Windows. Run the engine on macOS or Linux.
