CLI Installation

Install CLI using Binary

To download a binary for latest release, run:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xPellNetwork/pell-cli/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s

The binary will be installed inside the ~/bin directory.To add the binary to your path, run:

Install CLI in A Custom Location

To download the binary in a custom location, run:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com//0xPellNetwork/pell-cli/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -b <custom_location>

Install CLI Using Go

Now we’re going to install the pell-cli using Go. The following command will install pell's executable along with the library and its dependencies in your system.

go install github.com//0xPellNetwork/pell-cli/cmd/pell-cli@latest

To check if the GOBIN is not in your PATH, you can execute echo $GOBIN from the Terminal. If it doesn't print anything, then it is not in your PATH. To add GOBIN to your PATH, add the following lines to your $HOME/.profile:

export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH

Changes made to a profile file may not apply until the next time you log into your computer. To apply the changes immediately, run the shell commands directly or execute them from the profile using a command such as source $HOME/.profile.


Install CLI from Source

To pursue this installation method you need to have Go. Please ensure that you installed Go with a minimum version of 1.21 here. With this method, you generate the binary manually, downloading and compiling the source code.

git clone https://github.com/0xPellNetwork/pell-cli.git
cd pell-cli
mkdir -p build
go build -o build/pellcmd cmd/pell/main.go

or if you have make installed:

git clone https://github.com/0xPellNetwork/pell-cli.git
cd pell-cli
make build2

The executable will be in the build folder.
