Download

The tarball lesspipe.tar.gz v2.25 (Apr 25 2026) is available both from this site as well as from GitHub (branch lesspipe)

The following files are available separately for download from this site (all contained in the tarball):

• README.md
• INSTALL
• ChangeLog
• lesspipe.sh
• archive_color (for colorizing archive listings)

The shell script vimcolor in the tarball is a simplified and slow variant of the perl script vimcolor and intended for the use in the test suite only. The perl script with the same name (syntax colorizer) has been moved to a separate git repository and can be downloaded as file vimcolor. It is however recommended to install faster colorizers such as nvimpager, bat/batcat and pygmentize respectively if colored output is wanted.

Older versions of lesspipe can be downloaded from the archive as well.
