## Pre-built binaries
Download pre-built binaries from the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases).
Add the `hx` binary to your system's `$PATH` to use it from the command line, and copy the `runtime` directory into the config directory (for example `~/.config/helix/runtime` on Linux/macOS).
The runtime location can be overriden via the HELIX_RUNTIME environment variable.
The tarball contents include an `hx` binary and a `runtime` directory.
To set up Helix:
1. Add the `hx` binary to your system's `$PATH` to allow it to be used from the command line.
2. Copy the `runtime` directory to a location that `hx` searches for runtime files. A typical location on Linux/macOS is `~/.config/helix/runtime`.
To see the runtime directories that `hx` searches, run `hx --health`. If necessary, you can override the default runtime location by setting the `HELIX_RUNTIME` environment variable.
