For the .tar.gz, simply extract its contents (not unlike a ZIP archive): it contains one binary file called `glow` which you can simply put in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin to make it globally available in your shell.

@fribbledom Looks like you don't have a .deb for x86_64?

I will extract it there. Thank you

@fribbledom I like it. Thank you very much for taking the time to develop glow!
Is it possible to pipe the output in less and keep the colors?

@fribbledom I found a solution using `unbuffer` (see this post: https://superuser.com/a/1132741). The command looks like this `unbuffer glow Readme.md | less`. Still I think it would be great if it would be possible with a command line flag in glow such that the command `glow --some-flag | less` would preserve the colors.

@dotcs

If you specify a style manually, it will stick to that, e.g.:

glow -s dark | less -r

@fribbledom Would you consider adding a port so it's easier to install and get updates? I would also looked into it, have written a few ports so far and some Go-based ebuilds for Gentoo. I just don't know what FreeBSD offers for Go so far. I can happily tell that I could go get and build glow from source. :)
