Git is a version control system that we will use to download Yarr's source code from GitHub. To install Git using Homebrew, execute the following command:
brew install git
Now that we have Git installed, let's download Yarr's source code from GitHub. Open the Terminal app and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
This will download Yarr's source code to your current working directory.
We are now ready to install Yarr. Navigate to the directory where Yarr's source code was downloaded and execute the following command:

This will build Yarr locally and install it on your system.
Yarr is now installed on your system. To launch Yarr, open the Terminal app and execute the following command:

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
