+# Install the `release-cli` for the Shell executor
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/issues/21) in GitLab 13.8.
+> - [Changed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-cli/-/merge_requests/108) in GitLab 14.2, the `release-cli` binaries are also [available in the Package Registry](https://gitlab.com/jaime/release-cli/-/packages).
+
+When you use a runner with the Shell executor, you can download and install
+the `release-cli` manually for your [supported OS and architecture](https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/index.html).
+Once installed, [the `release` keyword](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#release) is available to use in your CI/CD jobs.
+
+## Install on Unix/Linux
+
+1. Download the binary for your system from S3, in the following example for amd64 systems:
+
+   ```shell
+   curl --location --output /usr/local/bin/release-cli "https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/release-cli-linux-amd64"
+   ```
+
+   Or from the GitLab Package Registry:
+
+   ```shell
+   curl --location --output /usr/local/bin/release-cli "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gitlab-org%2Frelease-cli/packages/generic/release-cli/latest/release-cli-darwin-amd64"
+   ```
+
+1. Give it permissions to execute:
+
+   ```shell
+   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/release-cli
+   ```
+
+1. Verify `release-cli` is available:
+
+   ```shell
+   $ release-cli -v
+
+   release-cli version 0.6.0
+   ```
+
+## Install on Windows PowerShell
+
+1. Create a folder somewhere in your system, for example `C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin`
+
+   ```shell
+   New-Item -Path 'C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin' -ItemType Directory
+   ```
+
+1. Download the executable file:
+
+   ```shell
+   PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://release-cli-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/latest/release-cli-windows-amd64.exe" -OutFile "C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin\release-cli.exe"
+
+       Directory: C:\GitLab\Release-CLI

+   ```
+
+1. Add the directory to your `$env:PATH`:
+
+   ```shell
+   $env:PATH += ";C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin"
+   ```
