You can just [download a binary for Linux, Mac, Windows or FreeBSD and run it](https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron/releases).\nPut the binary in your `$PATH` (e.g. in `/usr/local/bin`) to make it easy to use:\n```\n\u25b6 tar xzf gron-linux-amd64-0.1.5.tgz\n\u25b6 sudo mv gron /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\nIf you\u0027re a Mac user you can also [install gron via brew](http://braumeister.org/formula/gron):\n```\n\u25b6 brew install gron\n```\n\nOr if you\u0027re a Go user you can use `go install`:\n\n```\n\u25b6 go install github.com/tomnomnom/gron@latest\n```\n\nIt\u0027s recommended that you alias `ungron` or `norg` (or both!) to `gron --ungron`. Put something like this in your shell profile (e.g. in `~/.bashrc`):\n```\nalias norg=\"gron --ungron\"\nalias ungron=\"gron --ungron\"\n```\nOr you could create a shell script in your $PATH named `ungron` or `norg` to affe",
