Installing Steampipe SQLite Extensions

Each Steampipe plugin is distributed as a distinct Steampipe SQLite Extension. They are available for download in the Releases for the corresponding plugin repo, however it is simplest to install them with the Steampipe SQLite install script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/sqlite.sh)"

The installer will prompt you for the plugin name, version, and destination directory. It will then determine the OS and system architecture, and it will download and install the appropriate package.

Enter the plugin name: github
Enter version (latest): 
Enter location (current directory):
