Windows
This guide uses Scoop (https://scoop.sh) to simplify installing prerequisites and pipx to manage Zotify itself. There are other ways to install and run Zotify on Windows but this is the official recommendation, other methods of installation will not receive support.
- Open PowerShell (cmd will not work)
- Install Scoop by running:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
irm get.scoop.sh | iex
- After installing scoop run:
scoop install python ffmpeg-shared git
- Install pipx:
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
Now close PowerShell and reopen it to ensure the pipx command is available.
- Install Zotify with:
pipx install https://get.zotify.xyz
- Done! Use
zotify --help
for a basic list of commands or check the README.md file in Zotify's code repository for full documentation.
macOS
- Open the Terminal app
- Install Homebrew (https://brew.sh) by running:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

brew install [email protected] pipx ffmpeg git
- Setup pipx:
