2. Command Line Interface (CLI)

The preferred way of installing the CLI is to use the Crystal version (the ruby gem is no longer being updated).

You can install with Homebrew:

$ brew install buildio/cli/bld

You can install with Homebrew even on Linux.

For Ubuntu, first install this dependency:

$ apt install libpcre3-dev

$ brew install buildio/cli/bld

Install Crystal (lang) and Shards (package manager) using the package manager of the distribution that you are using.

For Fedora, you can use dnf:

$ sudo dnf install crystal

$ sudo dnf install libssh2-devel

For Ubuntu, you can use apt:

$ sudo apt install crystal

$ sudo dnf install shards

There is also a generic Linux install that will figure out your package manager for you.

You'll need crystal 1.16. Available from the PPA:
https://crystal-lang.org/install/

Then this adds to your sources:
$ curl -fsSL https://crystal-lang.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Once you have Crystal installed, you can downloaded the Crystal CLI directly from the (public) GitHub account with:

$ git clone git@github.com:buildio/cli.git

$ cd cli/ && shards build
