anonymizer

Install on macOS

Quick install

Terminal window
curl -fsSL anonymizer.site/install | sh

This downloads and runs the install script (anonymizer.site/install) which installs the tool via uv under your user account. No sudo required. No system Python is touched.

After install, run:

Terminal window
anonymize

Your browser opens at http://127.0.0.1:<port>.

Where it installs

  • ~/.local/share/uv/tools/docs-anonymizer/ — the wheel and its dependencies
  • ~/.local/bin/anonymize — the launcher executable

To uninstall: uv tool uninstall docs-anonymizer.

Verify the install script before running

The install script is hosted at https://anonymizer.site/install and is rebuilt on every release. To verify before piping into a shell:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL anonymizer.site/install | shasum -a 256

Compare against the SHA256 published in the latest release.

Requirements

  • macOS 12 (Monterey) or newer
  • ~1.5 GB free disk (spaCy + Natasha models bundled)

Updating

The product self-updates via an in-app banner. No need to re-run the installer. See Updates for the mechanism.
