Turtl is a free and open-source note-taking and bookmarking application that emphasizes privacy and security. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Turtl on macOS.
Before we begin, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS. We will use Homebrew to install Turtl.
Open Terminal, which you can find in /Applications/Utilities/
or by using Spotlight search.
Type the following command to install Homebrew and press Enter:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Wait for the installation to complete. You may be prompted to enter your password.
Now that you have Homebrew installed, you can use it to install Turtl.
In Terminal, type the following command to add the Turtl repository to Homebrew:
brew tap turtl/distro
Then type this command to install Turtl:
brew install turtl
Wait for the installation to complete.
After the installation is complete, open Finder and go to Applications.
Double-click on Turtl to launch it.
If this is your first time using Turtl, you will be prompted to create a new account or sign in to an existing one.
