Installing the CLI

We provide a command line application that you can use to interact with the SystemsLab server. This page describes how to install it.

INFO

You will need to have followed the steps on the setup page first.

You can install the CLI via apt

sudo apt install systemslab-cli

::: info You will need to have followed the steps on the [setup page](./setup.md) first. :::

You can install the CLI via yum

sudo yum install systemslab-cli

You can install the CLI from the iopsystems/iop tap.

brew install iopsystems/iop/systemslab

Binaries are available for MacOS (both x86_64 and ARM64) and Linux x86_64.

Once installed check out the command line reference to see all available CLI commands.

Configuration

Most CLI commands need to connect to a SystemsLab server. To avoid having to specify the server URL in the parameters every time you can create a config file .config/systemslab.toml and specify the server url within:

systemslab_url = "http://example.com/systemslab"

See the command line reference for the complete list of locations the systemslab command looks for config files in.
