Installing wadm

Planned changes to scheduling

The wasmCloud Q3 2025 Roadmap sets out plans for an overhaul to scheduling in the next major release of wasmCloud. The new scheduling API will not use NATS to communicate between components by default, but will still support distributed communication via NATS. For more information, see the Roadmap and Issue #4640: “Intentional distributed networking.”

wadm releases include a standalone binary and Docker image.

Binaries are included in each release of wadm. The following platforms are supported:

  • Linux (x86_64)
  • Linux (aarch64)
  • MacOS (x86_64)
  • MacOS (aarch64)

After downloading the appropriate release, extract the wadm binary and move it somewhere on your PATH (e.g. mv wadm /usr/local/bin/wadm).

Docker​

A list of all available wadm images is on GitHub packages. In addition to tagged versions, we also have two additional tags:

  • latest - The latest tagged release of wadm
  • canary - The latest build of wadm from the main branch. This is not recommended for production use.
