jq is written in C and has no runtime dependencies, so it should be
possible to build it for nearly any platform. Prebuilt binaries are
available for Linux, OS X and Windows.
The binaries should just run, but on OS X and Linux you may need
to make them executable first using `chmod +x jq`.
jq is licensed under the MIT license. For all of the gory
details, read the file `COPYING` in the source distribution.

### Checksums and signatures
SHA-256 checksums are provided for all release and pre-release binaries.
They can be found under
[sig/v1.x/sha256sum.txt](https://github.com/stedolan/jq/tree/master/sig).
The checksums for jq 1.5 are in
[sig/v1.5/sha256sum.txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedolan/jq/master/sig/v1.5/sha256sum.txt).
Additionally, all binaries are signed by the
[jq Package Signing Key](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedolan/jq/master/sig/jq-release.key).
The signatures can be found under
[sig/v1.x/\*.asc](https://github.com/stedolan/jq/tree/master/sig).
The signatures for jq 1.5 are in
[sig/v1.5/\*.asc](https://github.com/stedolan/jq/tree/master/sig/v1.5).
You can use [GnuPG](https://gnupg.org/) to verify a signature by downloading
the signature and running `gpg --verify signature.asc`.
### From source on Linux, OS X, Cygwin, and other POSIX-like operating systems
* [Source tarball for jq 1.5](https://github.com/stedolan/jq/releases/download/jq-1.5/jq-1.5.tar.gz)
You can build it using the usual `./configure && make && sudo
make install` rigmarole.
If you're interested in using the lastest development version, try:
git clone https://github.com/stedolan/jq.git
cd jq
autoreconf -i
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode
make
sudo make install
To build it from a git clone, you'll need to install a few
packages first:
* [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org)
* [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
* [Autotools](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)
For Linux systems, these will all be in your system's package
manager, and if you do development on the machine they're most
likely already installed.
On OS X, these are all included in Apple's command line tools, which can
be installed from [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/). However,
you may find that you need a newer version of Bison than the one provided
by Apple. This can be found in [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) or
[MacPorts](https://macports.org/).
The `--disable-maintainer-mode` flag says to use the pre-generated lexer
and parser that come with the code. To compile the lexer and parser also
from source, leave out this flag. You will need to install
[Flex](http://flex.sourceforge.net/) and
[Bison](https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/).
#### Building the documentation
jq's documentation is compiled into static HTML using
[Bonsai](http://www.tinytree.info). To view the documentation
locally, run `rake serve` (or `bundle exec rake serve`) from the
docs/ subdirectory. To build the docs just `rake build` from the
docs subdirectory. You'll need a few Ruby dependencies, which can
be installed by following the instructions in `docs/README.md`.
The man page is built by `make jq.1`, or just `make`, also from
the YAML docs, and you'll still need the Ruby dependencies to
build the manpage.
